Meet Coach Panapada
Black Knight Football Nation,
My name is Donny Panapada Jr. and I’m the proud Head Football Coach at Stamford High School. As a lifelong Stamford resident, former Varsity FCIAC Head Coach and father of three daughters, two of whom graduated from Stamford High School, I am motivated to lead the Black Knights Football Program to the perennial success this community deserves. My vision is to use my 20 years of varsity football coaching experience, along with an experienced coaching staff to have an impact on our student athletes in the classroom and on the field. Our goal is to create a positive environment that will produce a Program that students, staff, alumni & the community will be proud of. Fifty years ago, the Stamford High Football Program was the top Program in the State of CT and we have started to lay the foundation that will take us back to those heights. To accomplish our goals, we will need the help of Black Knight Nation! Please consider being a part of SHS Gridiron Club to help us in our journey to build our Program back to where it belongs.
Thank You for your consideration.
Go Black Knights!
Donny Panapada Jr.
