The matchup pitted Pasadena High School and crosstown rival John Muir High School in the tradition that dates back to 1947.
A Southland tradition dating back to the 1940s continued on Wednesday, when hundreds of people flocked to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for the latest edition of the Turkey Tussle. The matchup began back in 1947, originally featuring Pasadena Community College and John Muir Junior College before shifting to the current participants in Pasadena High School and John Muir High School in 1954, according to Pasadena Now.
'Every year i come here, it's like, it's the Rose Bowl,' said Kaia Lorentzen, a student at PHS. 'It's amazing. It's awesome.''We grow up in the same neighborhoods, but we're all on different sides of the field, but we're friends,' another fan said. 'Just a great time to come out and reflect on where we've been.'The bigger meaning of the game dates back to the 1977, when Lucious Smith played in the game as a high school student.
