Central Lancers are THE 2025 Turkey Bowl winners after securing a 22–14 victory against Northeast. This win marks our school’s first win in more than a decade.
For players, coaches, students, and alumni, this victory carried significance well beyond the scoreboard. After more than a decade without a Turkey Bowl title, this win symbolizes the resilience and renewed energy of the Central football and athletic program. Led by Coach Richard Drayton (246), this season, Lancers displayed their dedication and grit as a team that believed in its potential from day one of the season. The team’s overall record for the 2025-2025 season was 6–4.
We welcome the return of the wooden horse trophy to Dear High!
