Reply to comment by bostonfan148 in Does anyone miss the old high school football playoff format - Thanksgiving games don’t mean as much anymore by bostonfan148
No they weren’t, The Thanksgiving Day games were always the last game of the season. The MIAA never had playoffs till recently. There were sectional super bowls who would then play in the State super bowls the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Winter Sports have always started the Monday after Thanksgiving, I’ve been out of High School for 32 years now and that’s how it was then and how it is now.

At least in the the late 2000s it was definitely rivalry game as last game of regular season. Then conference champions made some sort of playoffs of group of 4 that was over in the first weekend in December.

In the Tri-Valley League, the last football games of the season are almost always on Thanksgiving. They are played between rival towns, such as Medway vs Millis, Bellingham vs Norton, or Hopkinton vs Ashland
