Ready for the Turkey Bowl? Mariners Play Chariho Wednesday Night

NARRAGANSETT, RI —Wednesday night's will be the last game game for the senior tri-captains Joseph W. Levesque, Zachary A. de Wardener and Alex J. Toolan. All three scored touchdowns in the victory over Scituate on senior night.

Levesque just received an honor off the playing field. Dick Fossa, the athletic director, tweeted today the football captain is U.S. Sen. Jack Reed's principal West Point nomination.

The Turkey Bowl will also mark the end of their high school gridiron careers for seniors Nathan R. Bennett, Jonathan L. DeVoe, Nick A. Fascio, and DeAndre N. Noel.

The Mariners are in the cellar of the Division III-A rankings, with a 1-6 record, but they could gain some ground in the standings on Ponaganset High (2-5) and the North Smithfield/Mt. Charles Co-op (2-5), if Narragansett wins and they both lose.

In any case, the Thanksgiving holiday game sometimes launches a team on a new start. And this time, the varsity has something extra to prove. The Junior Varsity has defeated Chariho in the JV Turkey Bowl, and they whipped 'em 18-6.

It's the first time the JV Turkey Bowl was played at Narragansett High, too.

So, school Turkey Bowl bragging rights are at stake.

Kickoff is 6 p.m. Wednesday at Chariho High, 453 Switch Road, Wood River Junction, RI. The Chargers racked up a 2-5 record in Division II-B play.
