Catapult Learning Turkey Bowl

Baltimore, MD -- A Thanksgiving Day tradition continues as ABC2 broadcasts the 92nd annual Catapult Turkey Bowl high school football game.

Calvert Hall College High School and Loyola Blakefield will play Thanksgiving morning at Johnny Unitas Stadium on the campus of Towson University.

Now sponsored by Catapult Learning, the Turkey Bowl started in 1918 with the two Catholic high schools playing a game every year on Thanksgiving Day. The Calvert Hall/Loyola matchup is one of the oldest continuous Catholic prep-school rivalries in the United States. This is the 11th year ABC2 will broadcast the game.

Catapult Learning is the nation's leading provider of education services to public, charter private and religious school students. Catapult Learning's mission is to help schools improve the academic achievement of struggling learners through a variety of research-based instructional, specialized support and professional development programs.
