Fairfield Ludlowe will host Fairfield Warde in the 11th renewal of the modern-day Thanksgiving Day football rivalry between Fairfield's two public high schools next Thursday morning, November 26, at 10 o'clock. The Mustangs are hoping to win their seventh game in the series and post their fifth win in the last six meetings with Ludlowe.
Similarly, their predecessors of a generation ago at Andrew Warde High School won seven of the 10 Thanksgiving Day gridiron games against their arch-rivals from Roger Ludlowe, including the last five games of the series.
Warde won its second straight Thanksgiving Day contest by posting a 27-12 home victory last year. I had the pleasure of being the public address announcer at the Thanksgiving Day game two years ago at Ludlowe (pictured below), which Warde won, 44-21. I was the master of ceremonies during the Warde field dedication ceremony at halftime of the 2006 Thanksgiving Day game. Warde posted a 21-12 victory that year.
