I did not follow HHS real closs those years, but I do recall all the talk going thru Ft Thomas that week. The talk was that this coach was doing everything possible to make it difficult on Highlands and the players families and fans during the Holiday. He knew families have plans to gather together on Thanksgiving day and so he scheduled the game on Thursday night. It was said he did this to tick off HHS by disrupting family gatherings, and hope to limit the number of fans traveling to the game. From what I remember, the players used this as a incentive to play even harder. As far as fan turn out for that game, I have no idea. Some one who followed the team close those years might have more insight than me.

It was the best Thanksgiving ever! Dudley completly underestimated Highlands fans. We'll travel whenever. And he really didn't take into account the Highlands moms that where more than happy to not have to cook Thanksgiving dinner but have it served to them at the Holiday in.:Thumbs:

Again my most memorable and best Thanksgiving ever.:biggrin:
