Stonington superintendent apologizes for fan's remarks towards New London players

Stonington Superintendent Timothy Smith issued an apology after a fan made inappropriate comments toward New London players during a high school football game on September 25, 2026, where New London won 71-0. Following the game, a video surfaced showing a fan reacting to New London players allegedly trying to damage the goalpost padding, making derogatory remarks. Smith emphasized the importance of civility and respect, stating that the incident does not reflect the values of the Stonington community. An investigation into the matter is ongoing. New London coach Jack Cochran clarified that the comments were from an individual fan, not from Stonington's team or staff.
