This season hasn’t been sunshine and roses for the Patriots – they’ve accrued just two wins and are dealing with some growing pains – but Thanksgiving is a different animal for them, as it is to every team across the country. “I say it every year: Throw out the record books,� said Revere coach Louis Cicatelli. “It doesn’t matter, it’s a clean slate. This is their Super Bowl.� This is Cicatelli’s 14th year as Revere’s head coach. Cicatelli’s favorite Thanksgiving memories are beating Winthrop two years ago and winning against them in overtime seven years ago at Miller Field.

down to which team commits fewer mistakes. We’ve also been working on field positioning. It’s crucial. Field positioning on kick-offs and punts ‌ these games are decided by field position.� Since the Patriots won the Thanksgiving clash last year, they’re currently holding on to the WinthropRevere Rotary Club trophy. The plan is for the trophy to stay with the Pa-

triots at least until next Thanksgiving. “Oh yeah, the guys get it, they know what’s on the line here,� said Cicatelli. “We want to keep that trophy.� The Vikings enter Thursday’s game 2-8 – just like Revere – and with just as much on the line. “For us, it’s basically a playoff game,� Cicatelli added. “Like I said, for the players it’s a Super Bowl.�
