St. Joseph keeps moving-up in classifications, but the outcome remains the same. Saturday, the Cadets won their third straight Connecticut high school football state championship beating two-time defending champ Hand 17-13 to capture the state’s Class L title. In 2017, St. Joseph won the Class S title, followed by the Class M title last year.
