Marblehead -On Thursday, at Piper Field in Marblehead, starting at 10 a.m., the classic renews itself for the 100th time on Thanksgiving Day. This year, there can be no upsets. Swampscott enters with a 7-3 record overall; Marblehead 8-2, and they are both 3-1 in the NEC Small Division. It is literally winner-take-all. “Swampscott has the banners and rings to back them up. These (Marblehead) players are constantly reminded about the past — they have to ignore that, but still try to remember how long it has been and where they came from.” For Marblehead, a win on Thanksgiving would give the Magicians their first football championship of any kind since 1973. “There’s so much on the line this year that the fans can expect big things from us, but we also know we’re playing a team that has been there before,” Rudloff said. “The incentive for our kids is to make history, and win the conference championship for the first time since 1973. “A lot of Marbleheaders have never seen a championship banner for the football team.Swampscott has already had the upper hand, especially the last [two] years,” said Rudloff.

It’s only fitting that the 100th edition of Marblehead vs. Swampscott is for all the marbles in the NEC Small Division. (whatever the fuck means) It’s win or go home time just the way the Big Blue likes it. Vegas has installed the Headers as 1 pt favorites and I’m going to laugh all the way to bank because of it. Yes my bookie takes action on high school football. Bottom-line is that this is the classic case of lifetime winners vs. lifetime losers. One town with all the rings, tradition and famous alumni vs. another town with nothing but devastation, despair and sluts. It’s like if the Pats played the Bengals in the AFC championship who would you bet on? The Magicians has never been in a game this big before and will probably piss themselves coming out of the tunnel. So clean out your bank account and lay it all on the Big Blue because it just doesn’t get easier than this.
