For a lot of Americans, football and Thanksgiving go together just like turkey and stuffing. In Philadelphia, annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry games go back as far as 1892 (Central vs. Northeast) and new rivalry games spring up every year (Malvern Prep vs. St. Joe's Prep).
In both the city and the suburbs, many high school games feature public vs. Catholic schools; the whole community walks over to the field before the turkey feast and cheers on the sidelines. What a great way to kick off our American holiday!
Here's a list of some Catholic League games going on in the area and the year they originated.
