Webster Groves football will host the Turkey Day game this year on Thanksgiving. The last Turkey Day game at Webster was in 2022, and this year’s game will be the first on the new field.
With the construction of Moss Field having finished in August, Webster has been able to utilize the new field, and with Thanksgiving coming up, Webster will get to host Turkey Day on the brand new field for the first time.
Senior Patrick Brown described how his favorite part of Turkey Day is getting to see the legacy he is a part of and how far back the tradition goes with all of the Webster Alum that show up for the game.
About playing on the new field, Brown said, “Really excited… I mean, we all know what went into that, and so now it’s our job to like to keep that ours and not let anybody else show up and walk all over us.”
Senior Sean Keagen said, “I feel really good about it, and I feel like it’s gonna bring a lot more people to the game then it has in the past few years. I feel like it’s gonna be really special.”
Senior Carl Whitehead Jr. described how he is very excited for it being on the new field and feels like there will be a lot of people there this year.
Turkey Day is a unique tradition on its own, but this year is made even more special by a brand new field. Seniors like Brown, Keagen and Whitehead are excited to get to play on the field for Turkey Day which will be held on Thursday, Nov. 28.
