A recap of Thanksgiving football action in the Hockomock League.
If anything, Thanksgiving once again proved how exciting and unpredictable the Hockomock League can be. The League's two playoff teams both lost; Stoughton and Mansfield's long Thanksgiving win streaks were snapped, while Oliver Ames extended its streak; the King Philip/Franklin and Stoughton/Canton games came down to the wire, with the KP/Franklin game being decided in the final seconds, and with Stoughton/Canton being decided in overtime, and Foxborough orchestrated a second-half comeback vs. Mansfield. The other games were blowouts. Thanksgiving marked the end of the season for nine of the teams in the league, but Mansfield (Division 2) and Sharon (Division 3) will head to the postseason, playing in a semifinal game Tuesday night, …

Foxborough-Mansfield is a chance to be part of Thanksgiving Day history.
Besides being known as one of the best Thanksgiving Day football rivalries in the state, the Foxborough-Mansfield game is about becoming part of town's history. The players in this year's game will go on to be successful in football or other sports at the collegiate level. They'll go on to be successful in their careers, maybe opening up their own businesses in Foxborough or Mansfield or elsewhere. But if you do something to standout this morning, you'll be part of the history of the rivalry. For at least two or three hours every Thanksgiving, you'll mostly be remembered for what you did for either Foxborough or Mansfield. The numbers of people in that category are in the thousands by now. For the 75th anniversary game in 2005, editor Jeff…

Both the Foxborough and Mansfield High School football teams will be looking for their eighth win of the season Thursday morning in Mansfield.
The tradition is one of the oldest and the rivalry is one of the best in the state – Foxborough vs. Mansfield.
