Should the Warriors have an annual Thanksgiving matchup, and who should they play? Tell us in this poll and in the comments!
While people in neighboring towns and communities throughout New England celebrate Thanksgiving mornings by trekking to the local football stadium to enjoy high school football glory at its holiday finest, Winnacunnet High School — fresh off its first state title in 12 years — abstains from the Turkey Day tradition.

The Warriors, who entered the fourth quarter up, 14-13, ate up much of the remaining clock with a 91-yard scoring drive that culminated when Bedford defenders allowed …
