Turkey Day Tradition Continues in Newton with Two Football Rivalries

The Newton North and Newton South football teams will face Brookline and Lincoln-Sudbury, respectively, for the traditional Thanksgiving Day football game.

For one Newton school, it's a rivalry that has spanned 118 years. For another, it's a tradition the teams are still forging into the history books.  The annual Thanksgiving Day football games are scheduled for this Thursday, Nov. 22 at 10 a.m., with Newton North and Newton South taking on familiar foes Brookline and Lincoln-Sudbury.  The Newton North-Brookline rivalry, which started back in 1894, includes an annual luncheon where the Newton and Brookline Rotary clubs bring the rival athletes together to shake hands and break bread two days before the big day.  That meeting will take place today, Nov. 20, at the Holiday Inn in Brookline at noon.  "It's like a work of art in some ways," Newton North football coach Peter Capodilupo said last …

Newton South Stays Tough in Turkey Day Battle

Lincoln-Sudbury gobbles up Lions defense as Newton South falls 35-13 to close out 2011 campaign.

Newton South concluded their season winless, but the Lions showed they were no turkeys. Newton South head coach Ted Dalicandro said the Lions showed pride and resilience as they battled the Lincoln Sudbury Warriors on Thanksgiving Day, falling 35-13 in the effort.  "We played a really good team," Newton South head coach Ted Dalicandro said. "I'm proud we never gave up." Newton South junior Brian Spink roasted the Warriors' defense, rushing for an eight-yard score on offense and returning a fumble by Lincoln-Sudbury sophomore Benjamin Colello 64 yards in the third quarter.  Spink, the Lions' emergency quarterback, showed his versatility in the second half.  "He just does it all for us," Dalicandro said of Spink.  The Warriors finished the …

Newton South Looks to Upset League Powerhouse in Turkey Day Game

Newton South High School Football has one more chance to put one in the win column against perennial Thanksgiving Day opponent, Lincoln-Sudbury.

Sitting in his office in the Newton South High School Field House, Athletic Director Scott Perrin reminisces about his days playing varsity football for Newton South. "I remember my last game, beating Lincoln-Sudbury by two," Perrin said, surrounded by orange and blue sports gear. "It is still a memory that I carry with me today." The Newton South Lions will have a chance to create their own memories tomorrow as they play the Lincoln-Sudbury Warriors in this year’s installment of the Thanksgiving Day game. The Lions have faced Lincoln-Sudbury in the traditional Turkey Day game since the 1970s. The Lions hope to end their season on a high note and avoid a 0-11 season, but it will be no easy task. The Warriors, ranked 15th in Massachusetts, …

Lions Football Remain Winless

Newton South loses 14-2 to Weston.

In a wet, wild, and stormy affair, the Weston High School football team beat Dual County League-foe Newton South, 14-2, Friday night.  The contest was delayed halfway through for about 30 minutes due to lightning, and the rain caused fumbles, errant snaps, and slips. But the Wildcats managed touchdown runs from quarterback Jarett Rowe and running back Jorge Castro.  “I’ve never been in a game like that,” said Weston coach Sean McHugh. “You know, the lightning and everything like that. You got to come back up here and get the whole team warmed up again. The kids just kept their focus. They really wanted this victory. We asked them to be physical tonight and they were.” With the victory, the Wildcats improve to 2-4. The Lions, meanwhile, …

Crosstown Football Rivals Square Off in Scrimmage

Newton North tops Newton South, 23-10.

With cooler temperatures arriving and the sun setting earlier and earlier, that means the high-octane, hard-hitting football season is just around the corner. And what better way to prepare than for crosstown rivals Newton North and Newton South squaring off against each other in a preseason matchup. This year, the Tigers proved the victors downing the Lions 23-10 at Newton South High School Saturday morning. “For both teams, it’s a good scrimmage because the kids get enthusiastic about playing someone in the same city,” said Tigers head coach Peter Capodilupo. “It’s always a good scrimmage for us. They’re very well coached. And they challenged us.” For Lions coach Ted Dalicandro, the scrimmage was an opportunity to hand out a report card …
