This year saw the resurrection of the Annual Turkey Bowl in the Town of DeWitt. The DeWitt Fire team squared off against the East Syracuse Black Sheep at 10 am on November 22 at the Jamesville-DeWitt High School. For many years the DeWitt Fire and DeWitt Police personnel held the annual fund-raiser to support the J-D SADD Chapter. This year the Black Sheep of ESFD took up the challenge to benefit the Francis House and the Autism Society of Central New York.
As the teams took the field, what seemed to be an uneven match-up quickly became a formidable competition. The teams approached the final seconds of regulation with the score all tied-up and the Black Sheep making a drive. Bill McGarrity picked off ESFD QB Matt Parker’s pass and ran it back 80 yards for the winning touchdown as the final seconds ticked off the game clock securing the win for DeWitt.
