Turkey Day Football in the Land of the Pilgrims

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle


Since I spent the last two days talking about Thanksgiving high school football tradition in eastern Pennsylvania, I now want to let everyone in on a little secret. Massachusetts may have every state beat hands down!

Why? Hey, the Pilgrims invented the day!

So with that in mind, he are some fun facts about Turkey Day football in the Bay State.

Boston Latin and Boston English are meeting for the 122nd time, which makes it the oldest continuous high school match-up in the country. It's been a lopsided series with Latin bringing a ten game win streak into the game and it's won 42 of the last 44. Boston Latin leads the all-time series 72-36-13.

The oldest rivalry between public schools belongs to Wellesley and Needham, who are meeting for 121st time today. Wellesley leads the series 58-53-9.

Right behind is Barnstable and Falmouth. They're hooking up for the 119th game and it's the oldest game on Cape Code. It's a close series with Barnstable leading 56-54-8.

Later today the Massachusetts High School Football Huddle will have all of the scores from today's Thanksgiving clashes.

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle


There's plenty of high school football to be served-up Thursday, and one of the most fascinating stories I came across this week comes out of the Boston area where 84-year Joe Tighe will coach his 50th...yes 50th...Thanksgiving Day game when Lexington plays Burlington. The 84-year old Tighe is the third winningest coach in Massachusetts high school football history with 256 victories. His overall record at three schools is 256-212-13.

By the way, former Brockton head coach Armond Colombo is #1 on the Mass wins list with a record of 316-100-5.

Here's the list of the top five active coaches by victories...

Vito Capizzo (Nantucket) 293-139-8
Ken LaChapelle (Northbridge) 266-83-6
Bill Tighe (Lexington) 256-222-13
Tom Lamb (Natick) 236-63-2
Tom Lopez (Lincoln-Sudbury) 221-91-4
