Winthrop, which sits at 4-6, is riding a two-game win streak entering the Thanksgiving game and has played some good teams tough this year, including a onepoint loss at Div. 3 North semifi - nalist Danvers. The Patriots have been able to handle most challenges this season, but the Vikings, who have put up 70 points combined it their last two games, could pose some problems. Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli made it clear after the fi nal loss that his team still has work to do, so it is unlikely the Patriots will be overlooking the Thanksgiving clash.
