The longstanding Thanksgiving rivalry game between the New Bedford High and Durfee football teams will take on a new twist this year.
As one of the state's longest running matchups, the Whalers and Hilltoppers will square off in the 135th edition on Thanksgiving Eve with the game being played at 4 p.m. at Fenway Park in Boston.
Presented by Cross Insurance, there will be four traditional Thanksgiving rivalry games played at Fenway Park on Nov. 24 and 25, the Boston Red Sox announced on Thursday, Sept. 3. General admission tickets are $20 and allow admittance to both games that day.
"It's really exciting," said New Bedford athletic director Tom Tarpey. "The players and staff are really excited."
New Bedford senior two-way lineman Congo Hepburn agreed, "When we found out, everybody was so happy. It's just a great thing."
