Schultz Leads Gaels to Victory
Shelton Coach Jeff Roy with Silver Turkey Award Winner Geoff Schultz
One.... |
...two... |
....Three! |
Shelton's Geoff Schultz became the first player to twice
win the Silver Turkey Award as the most valuable player in the
Thanksgiving Day game between Derby and Shelton - and he did it while
only playing half the game! Shultz scored three first half touchdowns as
Shelton Powered to a 35 - 0 halftime lead on their way to a 49 -14 win
on a balmy Thanksgiving morning at Ryan Field.
With the win, Shelton finishes the regular season at 9-1
and advances to the C.I.A.C. LL playoffs while Derby, which played as a
cooerative team with Emmett O'Brien Tech, finished with a 3-7 record in
their first year of co-op play.

With the win, Shelton also moved a step closer to
gaining permanent possession of the Rotary Club Trophy. The winning team
gets to keep the trophy for the ensuing year following each game until
one team wins ten games and gains permanent possession. With the win,
Shelton now has eight of the needed ten, and Derby has won one. This is
just the latest in a series of trophies that date back to the 1930's.
This year's game was the 97th in the rivalry.
Danny Grady scores one of Derby's touchdowns.
