Bio

The 1954 football team under head coach Henry Majlinger and captained by CCSU Alumni Athletics Hall of Famers Ray Rondini and Lou Magnoli. In just his second year as head coach Majlinger guided the Blue Devils to a 6-0 record. The team featured multiple Alumni Athletics Hall of Famers and was led by a stout defense that was only scored on four times and outscored its opponents, 158-26, in six games. The team had a pair of All-State First Team selections; Paul Amenta was a standout at tackle and Bob Skinner scored 48 points to rank second in the state. Ernie Sutkowski averaged a team-high 7.0 yards per carry and Bob Skinner led the team in scoring.
