OAK BLUFFS - For year-round residents of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, it was an eagerly anticipated rite of fall: On the Saturday before Thanksgiving, two proudly independent communities tussled for bragging rights in the season-ending high school football matchup....
Vineyard native Emmett Carroll, 65, who ran the Menemsha Texaco station for years, remembers how the games united his island: “Nothing accentuated that more than going to Nantucket. And if we won, it was pretty exciting, coming out of the ferry with the fire trucks blazing.’’

Who doesn't love a blazing fire truck?
