Future of Turkey game in doubt in Southern Illinoisan report
The annual West Frankfort Benton Thanksgiving Turkey Day clash faces renewal problems as Benton has yet to sign the two year contract. West Frankfort AD George Karoski sent the agreement to Benton AD Rich Herrin who may oppose continuing the game. Benton school board deliberations are due in December with sentiment split among members. Students and coaches oppose ending the tradition, and petitions may be presented. The game remains a countywide highlight with players and fans expressing strong commitment to keeping it alive even amid possible changes.
