Teachers dominated once again during the 2014 Wood Hill Middle School Turkey Bowl on November 26, 2014. They won 20 to 14. The flag football sporting event was created to bring students and staff together and create a fun school tradition. It was a rainy and chilly day, but that didn't stop the rest of the school from cheering on their classmates from the sidelines.
"I thought it was fun, it was quite enjoyable," said eighth grader Matt Allen. "We had a pretty good team this year. It's a great tradition and I hope we keep doing it."
The annual event has been held since 2002, and teachers have won all 13 years. It originated as an after-school activity but has since become a fun part of the day before Thanksgiving break. Typically about a quarter of Wood Hill staff play and three quarters of eighth graders join teams to take on their teachers.
"The eighth graders are bound to win," said Principal Patrick Bucco. "They haven't won yet but it may be because they let their differences on the field affect their play and don't work as a team."
