Last week, 2-2... Season, 215-109
These will be cold games, people. Ice cold. Siberian cold. Colder than the kiss of an ex-wife.
Be sure to double check your plans, as some schools are switching their games to Wednesday night to avoid the below-zero wind chills that we'll get on Thusday morning.
On to the games!

Archbishop Williams @ Cardinal Spellman 6:00 PM (Weds)
Playing the Thanksgiving game on Wednesday is like trick-or-treating on October 30th.
Spellman, 18-15
Tri County at Old Colony 6pm Wednesday
Three counties beat a colony, especially an old one.
TC, 21-7
Bishop Stang at Bishop Feehan 5 pm Wednesday
Pick a bishop, any bishop...
Feehan, 14-10
Blue Hills @ Bristol-Plymouth 10:00 AM
As cold as this game will be, it would be colder atop Blue Hills.
BH, 17-6
Bourne @ Wareham, rescheduled to Wednesday at 6 PM
Bourne won't let the cheerleading career of Molliepop end on an L.
Bourne, 20-17
Bridgewater-Raynham @ Brockton 10:00 AM
Brockton doesn't care how many towns they play at once. "Throw in Halifax,"" says Hagler. "Whitman-Hanson too," adds Marciano.
Brockton, 24-23
Cape Cod Tech at Upper Cape Tech 10:00 AM
I'd hate to get technical...
UCT, 24-16
Case at Somerset Berkley 10:00 AM
Gotta take a home dog now and then...
SB, 12-9
Coyle & Cassidy at Taunton 10:00 AM
This is a fun game to bet, especially if you don't really know the players and want to bet instead on partially irrelevant tangents. Can a school with 500 kids beat one with 3000 (Taunton is the 4th largest high school in Massachusetts, trailing only Brockton, Lowell and New Bedford) kids? How about if they are in the same town, and can maybe bleed some of Taunton's talent away? Can a small school with a 7-3 record beat a huge one who is 5-5? On the road?
C&C, 28-27
Dennis-Yarmouth at Nauset 5 PM Wwdnesday
You generally want to bet on teams with two towns in their name, but Nauset serves Eastham, Brewster, Truro, Orleans and Provincetown. The schools are about the same size, Nauset is hosting, but DY was over .500 while Nauset wasn't.
DY, 13-12
Durfee @ New Bedford 10:15 AM
I'm not digging it out of the laundry pile, but I own a Durfee Hilltoppers t-shirt. I also think that Beige will whip them.
NB, 24-9
East Bridgewater @ Rockland 10:00 AM
Rocky started out rough before ending well. EB should prevail, however.
EB, 15-14
Fairhaven at Dartmouth 10:00 AM
The teams look pretty even, but Fairhaven is 4-6 while the D is 3-7. Keeping with the even theme, both teams end up 4-7 after a nail-biter.
Dartmouth, 21-20
Falmouth at Barnstable 10:00 AM
Falmouth and Barnstable both advanced in the playoffs before running into Canton and Mansfield-sized roadblocks.

Foxborough at Mansfield 10:00 AM
Foxy Bro's best chance of winning this game involved a) Mansfield looking ahead to the Super Bowl and b) Mansfield playing their JV. A didn't happen, and B doesn't seem likely either.

Greater New Bedford at Diman 10:00 AM
I'm taking Beige in the other Fall River/New Bedford gobbler, so I'll take Fawl Rivuh here.

Hanover at Norwell 10:00 AM
Hanover will be very calm and quiet before Black Friday. "Black Friday" sounds very ominous for something that means "the store opens at a funny time so shopaholics can bargain hunt."

Holbrook/Avon at West Bridgewater 10:00 AM
Holbrook's last game saw them lose to a winless, 100 kid charter school. Can they beat the Westie JV?
The WB, 7-6

Hull. @ Cohasset 10:00 AM
Hull also looked to be playing against the JV before Cohasset crossed the wrong Catholic school.
Cohasset, 41-7

Cohasset, 41-7
Marshfield at Duxbury 10:00 AM
Duxbury was also going to be sending out the JV, before getting eliminated by Tewksbury. Marshfield beat the JV by 50 points in 2016, humbled the Green Dragon varsity for a departing Coach Silva in 2017, and looks to keep it going in 2018 against a demoralized Duxbury squad.

Middleborough at Carver/Sacred Heart, 10:00 AM
"Carver" is an odd word to put in front of "Sacred Heart."

Milton at Braintree 10:00 AM
Much like Fairhaven/Dartmouth, I call a close game where each team finishes the season at 7-4.

North Attleboro @ Attleboro 10:00 AM
Battle Bro is bigger, but North was a Duxbury away from the EMASS final.

Old Rochester @ Apponequet 5 pm Wednesday
OR will most likely send out the JV, but that's just me guessing.
Apponequet, 38-7

Pembroke @ Silver Lake 10:00 AM
Pembroke was part of Silver Lake before the divorce, making this game sort of like the War Of The Roses... not the English war, but the divorce movie where Kathleen Turner scissors Michael Douglas.

Plymouth North at Plymouth South 10:00 AM
Prepare yourself now for our "The Plymouth Thanksgiving game should be nationally televised" article.

Quincy at North Quincy 10:00 AM
I'm not sure if I would have gone to Quincy or North Quincy high school if my parents didn't White Flight out of Quincy during the 1970s busing troubles. I'll bet North, because they haven't lost 10 games this year.

Saint John Paul I at Monomoy
Not sure of the time for this one. An unreliable source tells me 10 AM.
SJPI, 20-14
Sandwich at Mashpee 10:00 am
After winning almost 30 straight games, I don't see the Mash losing two straight.

Scituate at Hingham 10:00 AM
This looks like a JV game for Scituate. The JV playing for Super Bowl teams on Thanksgiving is a downside of the present tournament format.

Seekonk at Dighton-Rehoboth 10:00 AM
Here's another JV game. I was at the Duxbury JV Thanksgiving game in 2016, and the locals treated it as a chilly class reunion.

Sharon at Oliver Ames 10:00 AM
Said it before, saying it again... it must be tough when you root for a school with a male name which loses a power-based game to a school with a female name.
OA, 7-6

Southeastern at South Shore Voc-Tech 10:00 AM
I pasted this list of games from FUN 107's website. Maxpreps has SSVTHS playing Holbrook/Avon. Max is often wrong about these things.
