Schedule and predictions for Gardner-area non-playoff football

It's another week of football for Gardner-area teams. All six programs are now playing non-playoff games until they compete in the ultimate game of the season: Thanksgiving. Gardner and Oakmont both took on top-seeded teams of their divisions last week in the Round of 16. Gardner fell to Cohasset in the Division 7 playoffs and Oakmont lost to Shawsheen Tech in Div. 5. Though not the ending they wanted, both teams had the goal of qualifying for playoffs after not making it last season, so accomplishing that is a highlight for each. Check out the local matchups for this week as teams look to finish strong and stay sharp before Thanksgiving games. Thursday, Nov. 12 Quabbin at Mahar, 6 p.m. After struggling with numbers late in the season and having to forfeit the last two regular season games, Quabbin returned last week to defeat Southbridge 18-6. Senior quarterback Zakk Mielnicki had a strong game, rushing for a touchdown and connecting with Gabe Houle on a 25-yard TD pass. This week they match up against Mahar, which is 4-5. The teams' one common opponent has been Quaboag, which they both defeated earlier this season. Cait's Call: Quabbin over Mahar Friday, Nov.

The Westford Knight: Were Europeans in New England before the Pilgrims?

WESTFORD — A stone carving of what looks like a knight holding a shield and sword along the side of Depot Street in Westford could rewrite the history books, as some say it’s evidence that the Scots, particularly descendants of the Knights Templar, were in America around 1400, well before Christopher Columbus and the Pilgrims showed up.
