                 Honoring Pearl High School CLINIC BOWL CHAMPIONS of 1969

After decades of going unnoticed the 1969 PHS football team will be honored for winning the historic Clinic Bowl game on Thanksgiving day in 1969.This was the first time an all Black team had been invited to play in this game that benefited children who had medical issues.  We beat Maplewood HS 6-0.  This team chose to play in this game to make history, therefore rejecting the opportunity to play in the first TSSAA playoffs. Would you please send out this information to join the celebration on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at 9:00 AM worship service at Ebenezer Community Church, 2624 Morena Street.  Many of the players from this team went on to play in college and professionally along with becoming city leaders and successful persons.
