Hopkinton VS Medfield has been an epic rivalry in pretty much every sport throughout the many years both teams have competed in the TVL. Friday Night, another segment of that epic rivalry will happen as both teams hit the gridiron at David M. Hughes Stadium for the Hopkinton Hillers Varsity Football home opener VS Medfield, kickoff is at 7pm!
Last Year was an epic battle between Hopkinton and Medfield that ended in a Hopkinton 21-14 win. The Hillers have taken the last 4 meetings with Medfield and look to continue that streak.
So far this season, both teams have one game in the books and both teams stand at 0 and 1 on the season. Medfield lost to a good Weston team on September 6th by a final of 17 to 6 and the Hillers fell to a good Wayland team last Friday Night (9/13) by a final of 30 to 0.
Below, View highlights from last year's great back and forth battle between the Hillers and Warriors plus some tremendous game notes from HS Football history enthusiast, Steve Watson highlighting the history and trends of the historic Hopkinton-Medfield Football rivalry!
