Nov. 25, 2002 – The St. Thomas-St. John Junior Varsity Flag Football League season will have its traditional climax on Wednesday night with the annual Innovative Telephone Turkey Bowl in Lionel Roberts Stadium.
This year there will be two games — first a contest between two Interscholastic Athletic Association JV All-Star teams and then a "bragging rights" tackle football game between Charlotte Amalie and Ivanna Eudora Kean High Schools.
To get football fans in the spirit of the bowl games, there will be a parade from the old Grand Union parking lot to the stadium. The CAHS Marching Band and Flag Corps and the Seventh-day Adventist Youth Drum Corps will take part.
For the All Stars contest, Team A will consist of All Saints Cathedral School, CAHS and New Horizons School players, and Team B will comprise players from Addelita Cancryn Junior High School, Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School, Antilles School and Sts. Peter and Paul High School.
The JV flag football season ended with Addelita Cancryn in first place with an 8-0 record. All Saints was second. BCB, CAHS and New Horizon tied for third spot with records of 5-3.
Cancryn's Lucien Maddicks was named most valuable player.
For CAHS and Eudora Kean, Wednesday's game will be their third of the season. Each has a win and a loss; hence the description of the tackle contest as "the game to determine bragging rights in the St. Thomas public high schools."
The All Star game will begin at 7 p.m. with the second game to follow an intermission when the Showdown Band and other groups will perform.
Admission to the stadium for the whole evening is $5 general admission and $2 for students with I.D.
