What I consider the granddaddy of all Turkey Day high school football games was renewed for the 101st time on Thursday at Lafayette College when Easton (PA) and Phillipsburg (NJ) played their annual border war.
Easton behind senior blue-chipper Jarred Holley beat Phillipsburg 17-6, which for the first time in several seasons marked the last game for both teams. Holley, who has played in four Easton/P'burg games, picked-off three passes and accounted for 134 yards in total offense and one touchdown.
Easton finishes the season with an 8-4 mark, while Phillipsburg ended 5-5.
Over the past couple of seasons, both schools had to play this one and then turn around two days later and play a state playoff game. This year both teams lost early in their respective state tournamaments.
