Ansonia High School (Conn.) is Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) record holder for state championships at 22 and has only lost nine games in the last decade.
It has been even longer since the Chargers lost consecutive games in a row, which the last time was back in the 2005 season. In Ansonia’s 28-25 loss to Waterbury Career Academy last week, the Chargers dropped multiple games in a row for the first time in two decades and in the same style as well.
It was also the first time since 2008 that a Waterbury public high school had defeated Ansonia, which last happened on Nov. 7, 2008 against Crosby.
The Chargers started off the 2005 season with a 1-2 record, recording losses on Sep. 23 and 30 of 2005 to Holy Cross and Watertown, respectively. Ansonia started the season off 1-0 this fall with a 23-14 victory over Bloomfield, but followed it up with back-to-back losses to Seymour and Waterbury Career Academy.
Ansonia’s football program is one in transition as longtime head coach Tom Brockett retired following the 2024 season, capping one of the greatest tenures for any high school lead man. Brockett, who coached the program from 2006-2024, left Ansonia with the best winning percentage of all-time for coaches that have coached a minimum of 200 games at .922 and compiled an overall record of 215-18.
Back in April of this year, the Chargers tabbed longtime assistant coach John Mihalko as the successor to Brockett. Mihalko had been an offensive line coach for Ansonia since 2014.
