Mayor James Della Volpe congratulated the Ansonia Chargers Tuesday on their 18th state football championship.
The Chargers defeated North Branford 59 – 26 Dec. 8 at Rentschler Field (UConn’s home field) in East Hartford.
The mighty Chargers have won back-to-back state titles in football.

That same meeting opened with a moment of silence for ex-Ansonia football coach Jack Hunt. Hunt passed away from cancer on Thanksgiving, hours before the traditional Ansonia-Naugatuck football game.
