PHOTOS: Thanksgiving Day Leftovers from Foxborough's Win Over Mansfield
Perhaps the greatest thing about the day after Thanksgiving is the leftovers. And Mansfield Patch is sharing plenty of leftovers from Thursday's Thanksgiving Day football battle between Foxborough and Mansfield to go around the community! Foxborough overcame a 14-0 deficit at halftime to win 27-21 at Alumni Field in Mansfield to snap a five-game losing streak on Thanksgiving Day and finish the season 8-3. Foxborough's Kiivone Howard had a big day, scoring three touchdowns (two on runs of 71 yards and 65 yards) enroute to earning the Vincent Igo MVP trophy. Mansfield's Kevin Makie won his team's MVP honors for his outstanding play. The season ended for Foxborough Thursday but Mansfield (7-4) will enter the postseason as Kelly-Rex Division…

Mansfield brings together gridiron athletes who earned back-to-back Hockomock Championships and the Division II Super Bowl Championship.
Coach Mike Redding reviewed the success of the team both on and off the field. He celebrated two consecutive Hockomock League titles and last year's Super Bowl Championship. Redding dubbed this year's athletes as the "Cardiac Kids" because they kept us on the edge of our seats in almost every game. Before the coaching staff distributed award plaques and booklets, Redding emphasized several post-season awards.

Hornets defeat Barnstable Red Raiders 34-33
The Mansfield football team defeated the Barnstable Red Raiders on Friday 34-33 in overtime. Mansfield seemed to have the game in the back pocket for the first three quarters, keeping a healthy lead of 17-points over Barnstable for that time. Mansfield head coach Mike Redding said that he did not want to risk injuries in this game by keeping kids in too long and pushing too far. He said he wanted to keep the players fresh to keep injuries to a minimum for the upcoming Franklin and North Attleboro games. "And it backfired on us," he said. "But I'd do the same thing again; our emphasis is to win the league and get to the playoffs." Mansfield struck first during the game, getting a six-point touchdown from a two-yard run from Greg Donahue. …

Hornets pull through for a 27-26 win over King Philip.
They had opened the season with three straight wins in which they outscored their opponents 132-0. As good as they had looked during those contests, the Warriors knew their biggest challenge was coming into Wrentham this week. Hockomock League powerhouse Mansfield would be paying Wrentham a visit and would provide the Warriors with their biggest challenge to date. When the dust had settled, the Hornets had handed the home team its first loss off the season, 27-26, but not without a score of its own down the stretch. After Mansfield had opened up double-digit leads on two separate occasions, the Warriors came charging back with a clock definitely on the visitor’s side. The Hornets had once again opened up the gap between themselves and the…
