Excitement is growing for the annual Thanksgiving football game, against the Trumbull Eagle\u2019s cross town rivals, the St. Joseph\u2019s Hogs. Not only will the game mark the end of the Eagle\u2019s 2012 season but will also serve as the THS homecoming game. Homecoming was originally scheduled for the November 16th game vs. New Canaan. However, due to schedule changes from Hurricane Sandy, the festivities have been rescheduled to the November 21st game against St. Joes.<\/p>\n

Student Council member Ari Matz says, \u201cStudent Council is responsible for running elections for homecoming king and queen. Elections will be held during the week and the winners will be announced at the game on Wednesday night.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the football team, they hope to end their season on a high note with a big win against the Hogs.<\/p>\n

According to senior running back, Ryan Pearson, \u201cIt is very important to the team to win and bring the McDougall trophy back to Trumbull High.\u201d <\/p>\n

Although the Eagles do not have a chance to qualify for playoffs, they have the opportunity the end St. Joe\u2019s playoff hopes. A lot is on the line for the Eagles and there is no doubt fans will be in for an exciting contest. <\/p>\n

THS cheerleading captain and avid Trumbull football fan, Taryn Bartolucci says, \u201cI\u2019m happy they changed homecoming to the Thanksgiving game because that is my favorite game of the season. The stands are always packed. It feels like the entire town of Trumbull goes to the game, so it will only make the homecoming festivities more exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, November 21st at 7:00, McDougall stadium will be the place to be in Trumbull. Make sure you don\u2019t miss the St. Joe\u2019s- Trumbull rivalry as the teams go head to head. Also, remember to cast your vote in Student Council\u2019s homecoming king and queen election. And finally, in the words of the cheerleaders, \u201cGo Eagles!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
