What is Thanksgiving Day without football? Just turkey and mashed potatoes.

 

Again this year, WKTV will offer a day full of high school football coverage focused on teams from the Wyoming and Kentwood communities.

 

WKTV’s Channel 25 will run its 16th Annual Turkey Bowl, a 15-hour special starting at 9 a.m. that highlights high school football games from this past season.

 

Our schedule includes two East Kentwood high games during the team’s 4-5 season and two Wyoming high games, exciting October contests against Rockford and South Christian during the team’s 5-4 season, and the always exciting clash between Wyoming’s Lee and Godwin high schools. The day is capped off with Kelloggsville high capping off an outstanding 8-2 season (5-0 and a conference title in the OK Silver Conference) with its opening round playoff game against Allendale.

 

Times and teams:

9 a.m. Hudsonville vs. East Kentwood

11:30 a.m. East Grand Rapids vs. Wyoming

1:55 p.m. Wyoming vs. South Christian

4:30 p.m. East Kentwood vs. Rockford

7 p.m. Lee vs. Godwin

9:15p.m. Allendale vs. Kelloggsville

 

Ya, we know the Lions will be playing on Thursday, but why not blend a little high school action into your football day?
