Pre-Thanksgiving Day Game
Dan Thornton
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.
I thought this was a great article. But the real thanksgiving game wasn’t as close as the article suggested it might be. Oh well what are you gonna do? HAHAHA
Our football team is doing great this year! Wish I could have gone to the thanksgiving game!
I fell like the end of the year football game or the thanks giving game was fun and i had a great time play it. 😀
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!
The Thanksgiving game was a lot of fun this year because we had almost lost to this team earlier in the year.
I agree with Simon and his comment, but overall I thought this was a very well written article. It had many strong points through out it. But congrats on a great season!
Great article. I like the diction you used and the history from last years game to build up this years game.
Such a classic thanksgiving tradition! So good that we won!
This was a great article and the team is doing great this year, really wish I could have made it to the Thanksgiving game.
A great day and a great game! Good job to all the players!
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.
The Thanksgiving Game is always a great time, and it must feel good for the seniors to have won their last game.
I thought this was a great article about the finish to a great season
The Thanksgiving game this year was great! It was a really cool experience being able to play football this year, seeing as it was my first year.
I also agree with Simon. But what an amazing season! I had a great time watching all the games considering I went to all of them!!
Great article! Are football team did great this year!
The Thanksgiving game was a good game, but we crushed them and some people got injured. One person in mind is myself.
