Banquet Season: Black Knights Finish '07, Look Forward to '08

2/9/08 by StamfordFootball.com

The Regular Season is always followed by the "Banquet Season", where players receive recognition for outstanding performances during the season. For the sixth time in the last seven seasons, a Black Knight was honored at the CHSCA All-State Banquet.

The banquet, held in January at the Aquaturf Club in Southington, featured every All-State player from across the state. Stamford was represented by Wide Receiver Josh Maignan (shown at right with his parents), a two-time All-FCIAC player and the team's leading receiver in both 2006 and 2007

The entire Black Knight Football Family would like to say congratulations, Josh! We are proud of you.
