Mt. Hope High School's Huskies host the Barrington Eagles for the annual Thanksgiving Day Football Game, starting at 10 a.m. at Mt. Hope High School, Bristol. This is the 18th match-up between the two schools, a series which began in 1993 with the merger of Bristol and Warren schools and the creation of Mt.

Barrington and Bristol's high schools had played each other for years.
