Pre-Thanksgiving Day Game
Thursday, November, 26th, Thanksgiving day. For some, it is the best holiday of the year, with all of the turkey-lovers out there. Thanksgiving is also a common favorite for other reasons, including football. One of the longest traditions of all time is the high school Thanksgiving football game, where schools all over the country play their biggest rivals in the last game of the season. The Pentucket Sachems (9-1) will take on the Triton Vikings (4-6) this thursday as they have for so many years. The Sachems have had a phenomenal season, making it to the playoffs and winning the Cape Ann League title. They beat the Vikings earlier in the season in a tightly contested match that spurred the Sachems to continue their winning streak. The Vikings are not a team to be taken lightly, however. Despite struggling with injuries at this point in the year, Triton has had a solid team this year and has played very well throughout the season. The game is looking towards being a close one, much like last year’s thrilling game in which the Sachems won the “snow bowl” in the final seconds of the game. This year’s end result will also be hard fought as the Sachems take on the Vikings on their home turf, kickoff set to take place at 10.

The Thanksgiving game was a good game, but we crushed them and some people got injured. One person in mind is myself.

The Thanksgiving Game is always a great time, and it must feel good for the seniors to have won their last game.

I went to the Thanksgiving game this year and it was a great game because Pentucket won by so much. Pentucket had a great season this year and a awesome record.

TheTriton vs Pentucket rivalry every year is unreal! The spirit week leading up to this great game,which was an amazing event to be a part of this year. Although the outcome was much different earlier than earlier in the year, the article really showed great respect toward both teams and I cant wait till next years game!
