📍 Shelton Gaels·Saturday, July 18, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Shelton Gaels football program marked a significant milestone Friday, breaking ground on a $2 million facility upgrade. The project, which includes a new weight room, locker rooms and field turf, is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2026 season. The Gaels, a Class LL program, have struggled in recent years, posting a 4-6 record in 2025. However, the upgrade is expected to give the program a competitive edge, particularly in recruiting. The new facilities will allow the Gaels to attract top talent from the region, and head coach John Smith is optimistic about the team's prospects. The upgrade is a major investment in the program's future, and the Gaels are eager to make the most of it.
