Go Spartans
After the recent Spartan victory in the 2022 annual Thanksgiving day football game between Stoneham and Reading, here is an interesting artifact from the Historical Society that comes from the 1941 contest. It seems that the Stoneham crowd was intent on stealing the goal posts after their 6-0 victory but Reading was out to stop them. It led to fisticuffs and hurt feelings and Reading was able to salvage most of the torn-down goal post. This is what was left of it and is now on display at the Historical Society. Go Spartans!!
