FOLLOW LIVE: MetroWest high school Thanksgiving schedule, scores, highlights

Kyle Grabowski, The MetroWest Daily News

Thanksgiving and football just go together.

Whether your team has been playing its rival for more than a century or embarking on something recent, the game caps the season with a flourish. For all but 16 teams in Massachusetts playing for state championships at Gillette Stadium, this is it.

Nearly every senior on the field will be playing in their last football game ever.
