The Big Game 2024:
On a Rainy Thanksgiving Day English Makes It 3 for 4 Victories Over Rival Latin As Loyal Alumni Gather to Celebrate One of America’s Longest Football Rivalries

Since 1887, for generations of English High School students and alumni, Thanksgiving Day means one thing — the English-Latin football game.  This year, alumni proudly donned their “E” hats, sweaters, jackets and t-shirts, coming together to renew friendships, celebrate a great tradition and best of all — watch their beloved team BEAT LATIN!
