On Thanksgiving most high school football teams across the country will be preparing for their biggest rivalry game of the year. Every school has that one team they think about all year and that Thanksgiving Day game will give the victor bragging rights until next Thanksgiving. It is a game that invites past players and alumni who cannot wait to meet old friends and reminisce of past Thanksgiving Day games.

Unfortunately Stamford and Westhill will not have this experience this year because it was decided last year, that Stamford High School would not have access to their own field in 2018 for a game and day that has such great tradition.

Stamford and Westhill will play Wednesday. Now the game was moved to 5:00 pm on Wednesday. The last game of football that most of the Seniors will be playing is now at a time when very few spectators can actually go see the game. Many parents will not be able to get to the game with a 5:00 PM start time to support their sons. So after 4 years of blood, sweat and tears, and making sacrifices that start in early July, their last game will be in an almost empty stadium with not even the parents there to cheer them on.

Please sign to have the game moved to 7:00 PM when parents, fans and alumni can enjoy the game between these two great teams!!!
