Donald and Janet Davis of Akron have three daughters, five grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. “And to think it all started at the Rubber Bowl,” Janet Davis said. The former Janet Singleton was 17 years old and a 1957 graduate of Garfield High School. She was dating Donald Davis, 19, a Copley High School graduate, and they decided to go to th...
Bill Kirk has many fond (and cold) memories of Turkey Day. He recalls when 10,000 fans used to swarm the Rubber Bowl and then go home to Thanksgiving meals and watch more football on television. When he was about 11 years old, he stormed the field and secured a chinstrap from a participant in one title game. “It was a big deal for me to come away w...
Turkey Day reminds Nina Biscan of her brother. Charles Marsh, a 1972 graduate of Garfield, played center for the Rams and wore the No. 50 jersey. A self-described pack rat, he treasured his team photos from the glory days on the gridiron. Biscan recalls when she and her four sisters woke up to find that Garfield students had decorated the family’s ...
Kelly J. Clark had the best view in the house. He was in the middle of the field. As a child, he enjoyed going with his grandfather to football games at the Rubber Bowl. What a thrill it was to play at the stadium when he got older. “I kicked and punted for Central-Hower when I set the City Series record, which I believe still stands, for a 49-yard...
Garfield coach Babe Flossie led his team to back-to-back victories on Turkey Day in 1956 and 1957. “I remember it as though it was yesterday and think of it every Thanksgiving Day,” said Lorene Polsley Reed, a 1959 graduate who attended the title games in her sophomore and junior years. Anticipation filled the stands, the kind of enthusiasm that on...
One Thanksgiving stands out for Michael Hayes, a 1964 graduate of East. “Probably my favorite Turkey Day game was Thursday, Nov. 24, 1966,” he said. “In front of a record crowd of 24,401, East beat Kenmore 35-6. “And the quarterbacks in that game? For East, it was longtime head softball coach and current head football coach at Ellet, Chuck Shuman. ...
Rick Acker attended Central from 1964 to 1968, but it was better known for basketball than football. The school merged with Hower, and the football program picked up in the 1970s under coach Tim Flossie, he said. “When Central-Hower made it to the Turkey Day game in 1980, I decided to go with a friend [Larry Heller] to see the game,” Acker said. “W...
Former City Series referee Jim Hayes recalls a Turkey Day tradition for whistleblowers. “On Thanksgiving Day, myself and other football officials who weren’t fortunate to work the game would meet at about the 20-yard line and watch the game and the officials working the game,” he said. “We always considered it the ‘official’ end of the football sea...
In the Chitwood family, you either played football or a musical instrument. Carla Chitwood Herbert and her sister Nadine were in the North marching band. Their brothers James and Jason Chitwood played football for the Vikings. “After every game, we would chant ‘All the way to Turkey Day,’ ” Herbert said. She recalls going to North’s 1978 title game...
Brian Ladd, a 1972 graduate of Kenmore, recalls his sophomore year when his team played Garfield on Turkey Day in 1969. The Cardinals hadn’t won a city title since 1942, and the Beacon Journal predicted the Rams would win 36-0. “Our quarterback [Eric Shoch] early in the game ran about a 50-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak to set the tone,” Lad...
