This game is played every Turkey day at 10:00 AM. It is the oldest HS rivalry among Catholic schools in the USA. Todays game was the 95th consecutive game dating back to 1920. My school, Calvert Hall, won 25-22. The game regularly draws 10,000+ fans,mostly alumni and their family, and is now played at M&T bank Stadium. Prior to M&T it was played at the home of the Colts, Memorial Stadium.
I was unable to attend this year for health reasons, but ,good Lord willing I will be back in 2015.
