Annual “Turkey Day” Football Face Off
By Jim Chandley Seekonk and Dighton-Rehoboth have been evenly matched entering their rivalry game before, which usually makes for a compelling game. Unfortunately for spectators this Thanksgiving, the two teams are not close to evenly matched, at least according to their records. Will the 48th meeting of these rivals be the one-sided affair the numbers suggest? Dighton-Rehoboth (6-1) currently sits near the top of the South Coast Conference and has legitimate Superbowl aspirations. The Falcons begin the month of November with a trip to Wareham, where either they or the Vikings will emerge in first place in the conference. These Falcons have been flying high thanks to a backfield not many saw coming together as it has. Sophomore quarterback Nathan Kowalski has been throwing the ball effectively to lead a Dighton-Rehoboth attack that is not typically known for airing the football out. Kowalski threw for over 200 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Old Rochester Regional last month. When the Falcons go to the ground, they chew up chunks of yardage with two fairly smaller backs, Mike Mello and Kyle Rose. On the other side of the coin, Seekonk (1-7) is in a rebuilding year. They have a new coach, a new offensive system, and far too many first-time starters for a successful team. Things have not been pretty on the Seekonk side. They have been transitioning from a runheavy style that was played in extremely tight formations to a pass-heavy spread system that uses a lot more field. Quarterback Nick Lancellotti and company have been learning on the job since the first game of the season. ...continued on page 25
