Best Game
The 101st Turkey Bowl between Calvert Hall and Loyola Blakefield didn’t take place last fall due to COVID-19, but the two teams made up for lost time this year.
The Dons defeated the Cardinals, 41-35, at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium on Thanksgiving.
Loyola tied the score at 35 late in the fourth quarter with an 11-play, 72-yard touchdown drive, then got the ball back with 1:25 left in regulation. Dons quarterback Marcus Hines led a seven-play, 52-yard drive that was capped off by a 15-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Noah Bull with nine seconds left.
Loyola snapped a six-game losing streak to Calvert Hall with the win.
