Turkey Bowl 2002
November 19, 2002

The 1st Annual Turkey Bowl went off without a hitch, despite the cold weather and howling winds. Teams from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., fought gallantly to claim the title of Turkey Bowl Champion. Landmark Sports & Entertainment and SportsCombine.com, co-sponsors of the event, would like to thank all the players, coaches, fans and volunteers for making this a memorable occasion. We hope to add more teams and venues in the future.

One great thing has occurred since the closing ceremonies on Sunday that many of you may not be aware of. John Miller, a member of the 110 lb. St. Francis Wolfpack team, suffered a ruptured spleen in Friday’s contest. He was rushed to the hospital and was in intensive care until Tuesday, when he was taken from the ICU and put in a regular room. After speaking to his father, it appears that John can go home on Wednesday without having to undergo surgery for the removal of his spleen. Our hearts go out to John and his family and we hope that he will achieve full recovery and be out on the football field again next fall. Good luck John!
