Stafford/Somers/East Windsor Playoff History

Connecticut has changed using as few as 4 champions in one season and as many as 8. The Stafford Bulldogs have participated in four postseasons, their first coming in 2016. The Bulldogs have only competed in the Class S bracket. Prior to joining with Stafford, Somers made three playoff appearances with Ellington in Class M and Class M-Small. They were 0-3 during that time. Stafford currently has a 2-4 record in the post season.
