The Jonathan Law football team ended its historic 2025 season 8-3, falling to Ledyard in the first round of the Class SS playoffs.

Even with a disappointing ending to the season, the Lawmen were proud that they achieved most of their goals, including beating rival Foran on Thanksgiving and earning a home game in the playoffs for just the second time in school history.

“The team met our expectations, which was always play hard, compete, and make the black and gold proud,” Head Coach Ryan Pearson said. “One of our biggest goals this season was earn our seniors one more home game, and we did that.”

Many seniors hope that the team will continue to build off of what they left for them into next year and make the Milford community proud.

“First round loss hit me a lot, this program has meant a lot to me over the years, knowing that I can’t go out there with the boys again upsets me,” Senior Captain Nick Comas said. “I hope this program grows to understand that there is a standard now and we have to meet those every year.”

The season may have ended the way that many people did not expect it, but the 2025-2026 Law Football team is one to remember for the books.

“Finishing the regular season 8-2 feels great because it’s one of the best records in Law football history,” Senior Captain Jack Lefevre said. “In 64 years, having one of the best records is something to be very proud of.”

The Lawmen play fast and physical football with their fast no-huddle offense. They also move fast mentally as they’re already preparing for next season with Junior Captain Matthew Witteman leading the charge.

“I’m going to help build off last season by making sure everyone hits the weight room and works extra hard so we don’t lose like this again,” Witteman said.

The Lawmen seniors hope that the underclassmen continue to compete and represent the black and gold.

“I hope the class stays loyal to each other and continues to play for one another to succeed next year as well,” senior Brian Gonzalez.

With the 2025-2026 season ending, the Lawmen have definitely made a statement in the SCC.

“We are here to stay and hope to make the former, the present, and the future of the black and gold proud,” Pearson said.
