New Channel 5: ABC Coverage of the Thanks4Giving Game

AKRON, Ohio - For the second year in a row there was high school football on Thanksgiving Day in the city of Akron.

About 90 Summit County high school seniors played in the Thanks4Giving All-Star Game.  High School football on Thanksgiving Day has a long history in the city of Akron, from 1942 to 1990 the Akron City Series Championship Game was played on Thanksgiving at  the Rubber Bowl. Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic was even at the game for the opening coin toss. This year, the money made at the game were donated to the Akron-Canton Foodbank as well as the Ronald McDonald House. One of the most memorable moments of the game was when the East Team had Tallmadge offensive lineman John Cipa back deep to receive a kick-off. Read and see the Video converage @ newsnet5.com

Aside from delivering the best football in Summit County, The Thanks4Giving All-Star Football Game is also designed to:

  • Cap off the high school senior career with many of these players destined to major D-I programs
  • Provide other top players to showcase their skills to dozens of college coaches
  • A total of 90 of the best high school football players from Summit County will be selected by the Thaks4Giving Committee consisting of coaches, sports writers, and even fan nominations. All players must have been ruled academically eligible by their school and the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) in order to participate. This game combines tradition with an innovative approach.
