Cardinal Hayes & Xavier Take Turkey Bowl Games

By Kevin A’Hearn;

AA Champion Xavier and AAA Runner-up Cardinal Hayes suffered no ill effects from the quick turn around they faced following the championship games they played on Saturday.  Hayes won their third straight Thanksgiving Day game by defeating Mount 46-14.  With the win the Cardinals finish the 2015 season with a record of 9-3.  Xavier captured its fourth straight Turkey Bowl game by hanging on to defeat Fordham 15-13.  The difference in the game came as a result of a safety.  The Rams scored in the waning moments of the game but could not score on a two point conversion to force overtime.  The Knights of Xavier finished with a 11-1 record.
