Rivals set for their annual battles The holiday games range from a series launched in 1893 to one pitting two new high schools.

Thanksgiving marks the end of the season for most South Jersey football teams, and traditional rivalries will take place involving teams from every conference in South Jersey.

Here is a look at the matchups tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight

Collingswood (2-7 overall, 0-4 Colonial Conference Liberty Division) at Sterling (7-3, 3-1), 7. A Sterling win would clinch a share of the division title with Haddonfield and West Deptford. Sterling last won a Colonial Conference title in 1992.

St. Augustine (4-5, 3-4 Cape-Atlantic National) at Buena (4-5, 3-4), 7. St. Augustine is going for its first non-losing season since 1995, when the Hermits were 9-2 and won the state Parochial 1 championship. The game features two quality running backs in St. Augustine's Jaamal Forman, who has rushed for 630 yards and scored 12 touchdowns, and Buena's Andrew Mack, who has rushed for 923 yards and scored 11 touchdowns.

Lindenwold (3-6) at Timber Creek (0-9), 7. Many felt this would be a nonleague battle of first-year teams looking for their first wins, but Lindenwold has exceeded expectations. Lindenwold junior Blake Burr has rushed for 858 yards and five touchdowns in 161 carries and has averaged 132 yards in his last six games.

Tomorrow

Burlington County League

Maple Shade (2-7, 1-1 Burlco Patriot) at Cinnaminson (5-4, 2-0), 10. Cinnaminson has clinched a tie for the Patriot and can earn the outright title with a win. The Pirates haven't won a division title since 1992.

New Egypt (2-7, 0-4 Burlco Freedom) at Bordentown, (2-7, 1-3), 11. New Egypt is another first-year school that has fared well. The key will be stopping Bordentown's Bob Burns, who has rushed for 695 yards and five touchdowns.

Palmyra (4-5, 3-1 Burlco Freedom) at Burlington City, (6-3, 3-1) 11. This is the third-oldest South Jersey rivalry, dating back to 1909. If Riverside somehow upsets Florence, the winner of this game would tie Florence for the Freedom crown.

Burlington Township (6-3, 1-1 Burlco Patriot) at Delran, (2-7, 0-2) 11. If Maple Shade upsets Cinnaminson and Township wins, Township would share the Patriot title with those two teams.

Riverside (3-6, 1-3 Burlco Freedom) at Florence (6-3, 4-0), 11. Florence has clinched a share of its seventh Freedom title in the last nine years and would win it outright with a victory.
