Two local teams remain in the top 10 as the end of the season draws near. Middletown, however, could shake up the post-Thanksgiving top 20 with a second straight win over Portsmouth on Thursday morning. With both teams looking toward playoff games the following Tuesday, it'll be interesting to see how the Patriots and Islanders treat their 46th annual Thanksgiving matchup. Play it safe and rest starters, or go all-out in the name of island bragging rights. Those "Aquidneck Island Champions" T-shirts the Islanders wore after last season probably didn't go over well in Portsmouth.
Rogers is in a similar situation. While the Vikings' game against Tiverton on Thanksgiving counts in the Division III standings, Rogers already has the No. 1 seed in the playoffs wrapped up. The Tigers have struggled this year, but always play tough, so the Vikings shouldn't expect anything easy.
