Changes in Store For Marblehead Football
Marblehead and Swampscott will play each other at least twice this year.
The new Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association football playoff schedule brings major change to the Magicians' football slate of games.
Marblehead battles in the season opener and will play arch-rival Swampscott at least twice.
They play at Swampscott Sept. 28, then, two months later, on the Magician's turf in the annual Thanksgiving clash.

Rather than the usual Super Bowl structure that featured teams playing in playoff games after Thanksgiving, the playoffs will start at the beginning of November.
Teams that don’t make the playoffs will play other non-playoff teams in the weeks leading up to the annual Thanksgiving game. The six state championship games will take place after Thanksgiving.
