The Fairhaven Blue Devils handed the Dartmouth Indians a decisive loss at Dartz1mouth Stadium on 11/21/21 in the traditional Thanksgiving Day matchup that usually has the Fairhaven High School team at a disadvantage.
Although Dartmouth made the first scores, they were the only points they made, with FHS scoring 24 unanswered points for a final score of 24-7.
Both teams played hard, with at least six injuries.
The two teams are not in the same division, but meet up every year on Thanksgiving Day, alternating venues. This year Dartmouth hosted, losing on their home turf.

Pep rally gets the team and crowd fired up for the big game
Fairhaven held its traditional pep rally and bonfire on Wednesday, 11/24/21, at Cushman Park, the evening before the Thanksgiving Day game against Dartmouth, which Fairhaven High School went on to win 24-7. The traditional bonfire sparked a fire in a tree that had a broken trunk, presumably from one of the wind storms. Firefighters were on hand to contain the blaze, but it did prove to be very stubbon, flaring up more than once. Eventually, they used the bucket truck wot put it out.
