OVERTIME
At the 10:45 am deadline and the score tied, the first ever Turkey Bowl overtime rules are debated. College-esk rules applied. Each team has opportunity to score.
Team Old
scored first with T. Whitwell catching a touchdown in the back of the end zone. However, M. Githens (aka Mr. Rulebook) asserts vehemently that T. Whitwell came back into the endzone from out of bounds due to an overturned endzone cone. Touchdown annulled.
On the first Team Young series, a text book hook and ladder by the trio D. Andrisani, V. LoBosco, M. Githens gives Team Young the victory as M. Githens scampers untouched into the endzone.
