According to Souhegan High School coach Mike Beliveau, the annual Thanksgiving Day game between Division II Merrimack and Division III Souhegan will continue for another four years, after which the plans to extend the rivalry game will be revisited.

The programs have met in each of the last 15 years -- the longest active Thanksgiving Day series in the state -- and Souhegan holds a 10-5-0 edge in the series.

There was speculation that the Thanksgiving Day meeting between the schools would end after this year's game.
