Staples vs Greenwich — their Super Bowl, often with the FCIAC Championship on the line.
The Wreckers knocked off an undefeated, top-ranked Greenwich on Thanksgiving morning for their first FCIAC Championship since 2012 — then shut the Cardinals out 27–0 in 2024.
Every Thanksgiving morning, Staples and Greenwich meet in the Turkey Bowl — a game that has repeatedly doubled as the FCIAC Championship. The whole town empties onto the bleachers; nothing else on the schedule hits like it.
