Team EDTTC wins 2016 Turkey Bowl

The Turkey Bowl is a two hand touch football tournament held by student council. Each team consisted of four players, and some even had coaches cheering them on from the sideline. The event was organized by Maddie Merlene and Grace Labor.

“It was not all that hard to organize, but the hardest part was just finding enough teams to participate,” said Labor.

This years tournament was definitely colder than last years. The temperature stayed around 32 degrees, but near 23 degrees with the wind. All the players had to dress warm, and everyone watching made sure they were not going to freeze.

Each team had to pay in order to play. The money went to two different things. Part of it went to student council for future events, while 10% of all earnings went to The House of Hope. The student council is partnered with The House of Hope to gain money for the organization. 

Every team battled through the cold to try and win the championship. Team EDTTC came out with the win. Their team consisted of Evan Denholm, Nick O’verko, Vince Cook, and Andrew Cermak. They met Team Barb in the championship. It was a hard fought game but Team Barb came up short, making Team EDTTC the 2016 Turkey Bowl Champions.

The Bulldogs once again have made it to the playoffs, finishing the regular season with a record of 9-1.

The entire Bulldogs team practiced all season and has been waiting for the upcoming games with their eyes set now on a state championship. Now, they are only three games away.

“Our team has prepared all year for the playoffs. The regular season was just the beginning. The playoffs mark the beginning  of a fresh start to a new season that lasts five weeks long,” sophomore linebacker Dalton Oshinsky said.

Their first opponent was Canton McKinley (6-4). Stow handled them with little trouble, winning the game 35-10 and ending McKinley’s 2016 season.

On Fri., November 11, the Bulldogs will face their toughest opponent yet, St. Edwards. The two teams met last year in the final four; Stow’s season came to an end when Eds defeated them 45-7.

“Our feeling going into the game against St. Eds is the same as it is every week. Come to work every day with the same mentality as always, which is to stay focused on our assignments as players and to prepare for our upcoming opponent,” Oshinsky said.

When the Bulldogs play St. Eds on Friday, it will begin at 7:30 at Twinsburgh. The theme for the game is pajamas. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday.
