Nov. 20, 2007 – Turkey Bowl 2007 Wednesday night will be different for the first time in years: Charlotte Amalie High School Chicken Hawks will face-off with Central High School Caribs for this year's V.I. Tackle Football Championship. The Chicken Hawks are the defending territorial champions.
The junior varsity flag football game will precede the tackle football game. Kick-off will take place at 7:30 p.m., on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at the Lionel Roberts Stadium, St. Thomas. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with I.D.
The tournament, which is now in its 42nd year, is a much-anticipated game among the territory's young football fans. For more than 40 years, the varsity and junior varsity teams on St. Thomas have matched their skills on the football field for all-star bragging rights during this time. However, this year, there will be an inter-island challenge, as the current champs will compete with their St. Croix counterparts.
"We look forward to this annual event because we not only sponsor this event, our employees also delight in giving a helping hand at the games," Innovative Telephone President and CEO David L. Sharp said. "It is no secret that, over the years, the company and our employees enjoy coming together to bring youth-oriented and wholesome activities to our community."
This year, the junior varsity teams include: Antilles School, Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School, Calvary Baptist School, Addelita Cancryn Junior High School, Charlotte Amalie High School, All Saints School, and St. John's Gift Hill School.
Half-time entertainment will include the energetic CAHS marching band and the 2007 St. Thomas Carnival Road March Champs JDPP Jammers.
