It’s the week after Thanksgiving, and now we get to turn our attention to the holidays, but that’s not for a while. Now however is a perfect time for another edition of Monday poll. Last week’s poll saw a tie between NFL and College for your Thanksgiving viewing favorite. This week’s poll question is…of the 4 major pro sports leagues, which do you enjoy getting tickets as gifts for most? MLB, NBA, NFL, or NHL? Comment with your answers!

Now that the fall season has officially had the books closed on it, it’s time to turn our attention to the winter sports season, which officially gets underway tomorrow. Starting this week I will be rolling out the winter sports schedules for each team, and then next week I will have previews of all the teams as they head into this 2017-18 season. Come back tomorrow as we start the winter schedules with boys and girls basketball!

It is time once again to reveal the answer to this week’s Raider Friday Trivia question! Prior to yesterday the last time a Raider football team won 2 years in a row on Thanksgiving was… 2005 and 2006. Once again I would like to send a big congratulations to this year’s Raider team who made it 2 years in a row with their 23-20 victory Thursday over Needham!

Hope everyone is enjoying this Black Friday, whether you have to go out shopping or not. Anyway with another Friday comes another exciting edition of Raider Friday Trivia! Today’s question is… when was the last time (before yesterday) that Wellesley beat Needham 2 years in a row on Thanksgiving? Answer tomorrow!
