FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- The Da-
vis-Monthan Air Force Base Mustangs
competed against the Fort Huachuca
Army Black Knights during the Turkey
Bowl 2015 at Fort Huachuca, Nov. 20.

The Turkey Bowl 2015 was the second
annual flag football game between D-M
AFB and Fort Huachuca.

The family friendly event was free to all
from both installations. The Fort Huachuca
Chaplains’ local food lockers collected do-
nations of canned goods, baby supplies and
hygiene products.

The Mustangs were comprised of Desert
Light Team members of various trades and
ran practices twice a week since October.

“We had a lot of people from different
units, so getting everyone to practices was
definitely a challenge, but we were able to
practice several times and get some chem-
istry to be able to come out and do well,”
said 2nd Lt. Allante Staten, D-M AFB
Mustangs’ team captain.

The practice paid off as the Mustangs
secured their second consecutive Tur-
key Bowl championship against the Black
Hawks with a final score of 24-6.
