Tiverton travels to Newport Thursday morning in hopes of finally notching a win in the sixth year of the Tiverton-Rogers Thanksgiving Day football series.

Tiverton is in the middle of Division IV with a 4-4 division record; 4-7 overall.

But the Tigers have played some of their best football of late, coming off two straight wins over Exeter-West Greenwich (13-7) and Scituate (23-6).

Tiverton has scored 160 points during the season while allowing 241.

In its previous two games, Rogers beat Mount Hope 40-6 but then lost to Classical 28-12.
