The Dix Hills Fire Department’s 7th Annual Turkey Bowl was played Thanksgiving morning at the Half Hollow Hills High School West football field.

On an overcast chilly morning that turned into snow flurries during the game, teams were picked school yard style, and separated into Blue and Grey shirts to start the game. Each team traded touchdowns during the first two quarters, with the Blue team tying it at 21 points apiece just before the half ended.

Everyone tried their best Odell Beckham Jr. one handed style catch, or even a David Tyree against their head catch during the game.

During the second half, the Blue team took the lead and maintained that until the final horn where the Grey team was picked off on a Hail Mary pass in the end zone on the final play of the game.

The final score was 56-49 Blue.

Everyone had a great time and finished up in time to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.Photo by Jessica Mattes.
