Normane unconditionally and enthusiastically supports the continuation of the Thanksgiving Day game to continue for another 100 years and beyond. Holy Spirit went deeper into the parochial playoffs, giving them less off time before the Thanksgiving Day game.Ĭampo wants the game to continue as is … yet, as a former head coach and athletic director, he recognizes that the current system is not conducive for this wishes of the NJSIAA. Had Atlantic City not made the NJSIAA Playoffs, it would have been an even longer idle waiting period. With the New Jersey high school football season starting earlier, Atlantic City High School will have gone 27 days without playing a game in the run-up to the Thanksgiving Day game. He knows exactly how they are thinking about this subject. With the group above, there’s a combined more than 200 years of experience with this rivalry game.Ĭampo spent 43 years within the Atlantic City Public Schools District … 26 of those years as the Director of Athletics.Ĭampo has a lot of direct experience with the NJSIAA. We had some definitive on-air interviews on this topic with Frank Campo, Steve Normane, Andrew DiPasquale, David Bean, Bobby Weiss, Bernie Marczyk and Yogi Hiltner. Right up front, let me say that I am an unwavering advocate of keeping the annual Atlantic City High School versus Holy Spirit High School football game on Thanksgiving Day.
