Thanksgiving 1973
Canton 16 Stoughton 15
This result was one of the biggest upsets in this series. Stoughton came into the game without great running back Ralph Pollilio, but it didn't appear to shake them. The Black Knights, who were looking for a Division 3 Superbowl berth, jumped out to a 13-0 lead and carried it into the third period. Canton then seemed to come alive. Bill Breheny pinpointed some beautiful passes picking apart the Stoughton defense, and Jim Shannon made some great receptions. Linebacker Jim Shannon was voted outstanding player of the game.
