So with no games this week there is no need to put out a weekly schedule. However if you are looking for a little pre-thanksgiving game appetizer, next Saturday the freshmen and JV football teams will take on Needham in a double header at Sprague Field with the JV kicking off at 10 am and the Freshmen at noon. Speaking of Thanksgiving football this week on the blog we will be previewing the Thanksgiving game from both the Needham and Wellesley perspective and will have some trivia on the rivalry as well, so look out for all that this week!

BoysWell as I said today was a very busy day in Raider Nation as two Raider teams (Volleyball and Boys Soccer) competed for sectional titles while football played host to Quincy on senior day. Could they get a win heading into thanksgiving and would there be some sectional hardware coming home to Wellesley, let’s find out.

For those of you who can not get out to the game you can get all the results right here tomorrow night in the Raider Recap. That being said I do have the Raider trivia Friday answer and it is… Acton Boxborough. That’s right the Wellesley South Little Leaguers captured the towns first little league state title with a 4-3 walk off win vs AB back in 2012, the team would then go on to the regionals in Bristol Connecticut where they would advance to the semifinals before falling to New Hampshire.
