Kirkwood Wins 89th Turkey Day Battle

It’s a Thanksgiving tradition in St. Louis. Every year, Kirkwood and Webster Groves high schools meet on the gridiron. This year’s contest went down to the wire. Kirkwood’s Jimmy Dickson kicked a 27-yard field goal with just 28 seconds left, giving the Pioneers a 24-23 win over Webster Groves in the 89th edition of the game. Kirkwood, which lost to Hazelwood East last weekend in the Class 6 semifinals, finishes the year with a record of 10-2. Webster Groves wraps up the year at 6-4.
