2026 high school football schedules are dropping one after another all over the country, and Connecticut has always been a pipeline for college recruits varying . This upcoming season is no exception, with a bunch of teams around the nation now setting their full fall slates.

Out of the Constitution State is arguably the top public high school football program in the New Canaan Rams, which are coming off winning the CIAC Class L state championship last season. Winning is embedded into the Rams’ as they’ve won over 25 state titles in the program’s history and the upcoming slate of games will test the team as they chase another championship in the fall.

Legendary Connecticut high school football head coach Lou Marinelli will return for another season to lead the Rams after guiding the program to its 26th state championship last season.
