It’s not your normal Thursday.

All three local Divsiion II football teams will be wearing their game uniforms instead of costumes on Halloween.

Milford will be at Pelham and Souehgan at Hollis Brookline Thursday night to wrap up their respective Division II regular seasons.

Here’s a capsule look:

SOUHEGAN (6-2) at HOLLIS BROOKLINE (0-8)

WHEN: Tonight at 7.

WHERE: HBHS Stadium.

LAST WEEK: Pelham 40, Souhegan 26; Hanover 52, Hollis Brookline 29.

LAST YEAR: Souhegan 47, Hollis Brookline 6

FYI: The Cavaliers are coming off one of their most productive offensive games of the year, in which Sam Bruneau led the way with 179 yards and two TDs as he has been arguably HB’s best player all season. Souhegan continues to get good play out of QB Michael Fiengo and should be able to put up plenty of points.

THE PICK: Souhegan 42, HB 7. Sabers get their starters midway into the third and then coast.

MILFORD (2-6) at PELHAM (7-1)

WHEN: Tonight at 7.

WHERE: Pelham HS.

LAST WEEK: Pelham 40, Souhegan 26; ConVal 27, Milford 20.

LAST YEAR: Pelham 49, Milford 7.

FYI: A huge upset could make the Spartans season but it will be difficult to pull off. That said, Milford had one of its better games vs. ConVal on defense (Liam Zahn an interception and then a scoop and score) and special teams (Jason Daykin blocked punt).

THE PICK: Pelham 40, Milford 12. Pythons are still at a much different level.
