On Thursday, Nov.23, the Kirkwood Pioneers played against the Webster Grove Statesman for the annual Turkey Day Game. Ever since 1907, with a few exceptions, Kirkwood and Webster have played each other on Thanksgiving Day as a tradition in the community. This year Kirkwood won with a score of 65-13 and Kirkwood high school will be keeping the Frisco Bell for the 10th year in a row, excluding 2020 due to Covid-19. Creighton Wise, senior, shared his thoughts about the Turkey Day Game this year.
“It was fun carrying on the tradition,” Wise said. “[It was also fun] coming out with a victory and [playing] the last game with the guys.”
Seniors run the Kirkwood flags at the beginning of the game.

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
