Shelton Gaels Promote Assistant to Coordinator Role

Shelton Gaels football coach has elevated assistant coach Michael Thompson to coordinator position, effective immediately. Thompson spent five seasons developing talent on the Gaels' staff, helping the team improve from a 2-8 record in 2021 to a 7-4 mark in 2025. The Gaels compete in the Connecticut Class LL division. Thompson's promotion is expected to boost recruiting efforts, particularly in the state's western region, where Shelton is located. The move also sets the stage for a competitive 2026 season, as the Gaels look to build on their recent success and challenge for a state championship. With Thompson's experience and knowledge, the team is poised for a strong preseason and a promising fall campaign.
