Weather shouldn't threaten T-Day games

It looks like neither rain nor snow will keep Rhode Islanders from carrying out their tradition of watching a high school football game on Thanksgiving.

A check of local athletic directors today indicated they were ready to take the field tomorrow, despite a cold and damp forecast. Mother Nature would really have to do her worst before they’d cancel games, they said.

The games, many featuring longtime rivalries, are considered regular season games. That means it’s up to the individual athletic directors to decide whether to call them off. |

Information on cancellations should be available through the Rhode Island Interscholastic League’s Web site, at:
