Bedford Bulldogs Coach Signs Contract Extension Through 2029
Bedford High School head football coach, John Smith, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes on the heels of back-to-back playoff runs for the Bulldogs, who have established themselves as a Division I powerhouse in the NHIAA. Under Smith's leadership, Bedford has compiled a 22-4 record over the past two seasons, with a pair of first-round playoff victories. The contract extension is seen as a vote of confidence in Smith's ability to continue recruiting top talent and competing at a high level. With several key seniors graduating, Smith will look to rebuild and reload for the upcoming season, which is expected to be a highly competitive one in the Division I ranks. The Bulldogs' summer camp is set to begin July 25, with a focus on developing the team's young core and preparing for the 2026 season.
