Boro Defeats Township in Thanksgiving Game

Under the lights at the Freehold Borough High School, two rivals with identical records battled it out in the annual Thanksgiving Game. 

At the half, the Colonials led the Patriots 7-0 with a touchdown by Boro senior Stacey Sunnerville. The score was quickly evened as Dan Bloodgaurd, a junior from Freehold Township scored within the first thirteen second of the second half.

With a tied score going into the fourth quarter both crowds were anxious as they cheered for their teams. Freehold boro stands were a sea of Blue and Gold as students packed the bleachers with school alumni and parents. Township’s fans, though fewer in number, made their presence felt with continuous chants and cheers.   

Freehold Boro took the lead within the first two minutes of the fourth quarter with a touchdown by junior, Cequan Rush-Smith. With the extra point missed, Township looked to take the lead but fell short at the end of the fourth quarter.

With last night’s loss the Freehold Township Patriots end their season with a record of 2-8 while the Freehold Borough Colonials advance their record to end their season 3-7.
