It's time to dust off the annual '49 football trophy' that will once again be hoisted in the air on Thanksgiving Day.

The long-standing, 90-year high school holiday rivalry between Joseph Case and Somerset Berkley is officially back on this coming November. The last time the two schools met was in 2022 when the Raiders defeated the Cardinals, 50-14.

"We're excited," SBR athletic director Joe Francis said. "The game means so much to our players, coaches and greater community. We're happy to have Case back on the schedule and looking forward to renewing the rivalry on Thanksgiving Day."

Prior Friday morning's big announcement, SBR and Case each played different teams on Thanksgiving since the breakup in 2023 nearly three years ago. The Raiders had a 1-2 mark against Rhode Island Division 1 school Central High while the Cardinals posted a 3-0 record against Atlantis Charter/Westport co-op team.
