Calvert Hall vs. Loyola, Md. 2005

This is a list of high school football rivalries (less than 100 years old).

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
Series Leader Series Rival Series Record Series Began Notes References
Lancaster High School (Lancaster, New York) Depew High School (Depew, New York) 47-29-7 1919 One of the oldest and most passionate rivalries in New York State, it was ranked one of the top 15 in the nation by USA Today in 1993. The series took an eight-year break in the 1930s when the series got so intense fan safety was a concern. The annual game draws close to 2,000 spectators. [1]


Albion High School (Albion, New York) Medina High School (Medina, New York) 51-39-4 1920 One of the oldest rivalries in Western New York, each team tends to dominate a decade. As the last regular season game for both schools, thousands attend from each town, as they are located only ten miles apart. The clash of the Purple Eagles and Mustangs enters its 90th year. [2]


Loyola Blakefield (Baltimore, Maryland) Calvert Hall College High School (Baltimore, Maryland) 46-33-8 1920 Annual Thanksgiving football game. The rivalry is one of the oldest between two Catholic High Schools in the U.S. The "Turkey Bowl" is played in the Baltimore Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland [3]


North Attleborough High School (North Attleborough, Massachusetts) Attleboro High School (Attleboro, Massachusetts) 55-27-8 1921 Eighty-nine of the 90 games have been played on the holiday, with one game played as a state divisional Super Bowl. North Attleboro has been dominant over the past 20 years, but the game has grown closer and is now a league game with Attleboro's recent membership in the Hockomock League. Attleboro does not use the -ugh in its name, having dropped it upon incorporating as a city in 1912. [4]


Watertown High School (Watertown, Massachusetts) Belmont High School (Belmont, Massachusetts) 42-41-4 1921 This rivalry has been back and forth over the last 89 years. The game in 1940 was cancelled due to snow. [5]


Jesuit High School (New Orleans, Louisiana) Holy Cross High School (New Orleans, Louisiana) 51-37-2 1922 Holy Cross football vs. Jesuit football is the oldest continuous high school rivalry in Louisiana and one of the oldest continuous high school football rivalries in the United States. The first game was played in 1922 (which Jesuit won 52-0). The two teams have played every year since, including twice in 1963 (once in regular season and again for the state crown, which Holy Cross won). The two teams meet each year in Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park, New Orleans. [6]


Maryville High School (Maryville, Tennessee) Alcoa High School (Alcoa, Tennessee) 56-23-3 1927 The biggest football game in the state of Tennessee. Historically known as "Clash of the Champions" Alcoa (3A) and Maryville (6A) lead the state in most State Championships won. (12 each) [7]


St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute (Kenmore, New York) Canisius High School (Buffalo, New York) 47-30-3 1921 One of the oldest and most passionate rivalries in both New York State and the Northeastern United States, these schools share a deep hatred for each other. The schools are less than 4 miles apart and are the premier private, Catholic schools in Western New York with students coming to both schools from throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. The series had to be suspended for 17 years between 1931 and 1948 due to the intense nature of the games, but the Bishop of Buffalo later required the rivalry to be reinstated in 1948 when a Catholic league was formed. The games have generated record attendance of several thousands each year as the games attract many members of the Western New York community. The single-game attendance record currently stands at a turnstile count of 28,009. The game is often the most-attended high school football game of the year, beating out all other local rivalries as well as the public school playoffs. The game has also been featured on several occasions as part of the Great American Rivalry Series. While the series was generally close during the first half-century of competition, St. Joe's took the series lead after winning 25 of 27 games from 1983 up until 2006. At that point, Canisius ended the run and started its own by winning the next 5 games in the series, including a win in 2009 that was also the first time the two teams met in Ralph Wilson Stadium for the league championship. That streak was stopped, however, when St. Joe's defeated Canisius twice in 2010. While several members of the respective teams have gone on to play college football, two of the notable participants in the games have been Phil McConkey (Canisius) and Vaughn Parker (St. Joe's). [8]


Upper Darby High School (Upper Darby Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania) Haverford High School (Havertown, Pennsylvania) 41-39-6 1921 One of the oldest Thanksgiving Day rivalry games in the Pennsylvania, the schools are just 2.5 miles apart. [9]


Ravenna High School (Ravenna, Ohio) Theodore Roosevelt High School (Kent, Ohio) 44-43-2 1921 Ravenna and Kent have always been rival towns, but the high schools' rivalry is especially harsh. The record is 44-43-2, after 2009's game, when Ravenna trumped Kent in overtime 29-28. The schools have been completing for the millennium trophy (retired to Ravenna in 2009) since 1999. The two schools now compete for "Big R", a glass trophy that will annually travel to the winning school. [10]


Hardee High School (Wauchula, Florida) DeSoto County High School (Arcadia, Florida) 1921 Oldest rivalry in the State of Florida. [1]</ref>


St. Augustine High School (St. Augustine, Florida) Palatka High School (Palatka, Florida) 46-42-3 1922 There's no big trophy to be won in this rivalry, just a district title and good old fashioned hate. The 2nd oldest rivalry in the State of Florida. [10]


Easley High School (Easley, South Carolina) Pickens High School (Pickens, South Carolina) 36-19-1 1923 One of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in South Carolina, the annual Sam Wyche Food Fight Bowl (named after the former NFL head coach who serves on the Board of Directors for Pickens County Meals-on-Wheels and was the man who organized the Food Fight Bowl in 2008) pits the Easley Green Wave against the Pickens Blue Flame in a game that attracts around 11,000 fans every year. The schools compete for two trophies: the Ultimate Food Fight Trophy goes two the school who raises the most money for the Pickens County Meals-on-Wheels and the Food Fight Bowl Trophy goes to the team that wins the football game. In 2011, the students and communities together successfully raised more than $60,000, with both schools being within $100 dollars of each other. Despite the charity surrounding the game, the rivalry itself has an ugly history, the most infamous incident being the 1969 game that included a huge fight in the stadium during the game and led to the rivalry's cancellation until 1982. Current Streak: Easley won the last meeting on 9 September 2011, ending a three year streak by Pickens. [11][12]


Mansfield High School (Mansfield, Massachusetts) Foxborough High School (Foxborough, Massachusetts) 44-32-3 1925 Neighboring towns in southeastern Massachusetts with deep ties played each other for the first time in 1925, but did not play on Thanksgiving until 1947 because Mansfield was dominant. Former Mansfield coach John Certuse (a Mansfield native) was hired by Foxborough to improve the program and coached Foxborough to its first win in the series in 1946, and its first holiday victory in 1948. Current coaches Jack Martinelli of Foxborough and Mike Redding of Mansfield have been at the schools for 29 and 23 years respectively. Foxborough leads in games played on the holiday, 31-30-2. Until the Hockomock League split into large and small divisions in 2010, the game had a bearing on the league championship in almost every year of the last 15. Considered[by whom?] one of the most passionate and competitive rivalries in Massachusetts. The game was played four times in Schaefer Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, in the 1970s before returning to home schools' fields. Former NFL center Tom Nalen (Denver) played for Foxborough; Mansfield has dominated the last decade's games. [4]


Northampton High School (Northampton, Pennsylvania) Catasauqua High School (Catasauqua, Pennsylvania) 54-30-4 1925 Annual Thanksgiving football game. These two high schools from neighboring towns first played each other in 1925 and the game ended in a controversial victory for Catasauqua. A rematch was challenged by Northampton and scheduled for Thanksgiving Day to decide the outcome as that was the only available day on the calendar. Catasauqua won both games the first year. In 1926, once again the two schools met and again the game ended in a controversial victory, this time for Northampton. Catasauqua challenged a rematch and once again they met on Thanksgiving Day to decide the outcome. Northampton won both games the second year. Beginning in 1927, the game was agreed to be played on Thanksgiving Day from the onset of the season. A tradition was born and the game has been played every year since. Both schools and their respective town communities have developed a bitter rivalry toward each other. [13][14]


Theodore Roosevelt High School (Los Angeles) Garfield High School (Los Angeles County, California) 40-29-6 1926 This game, officially called the "East Los Angeles Classic" since 1972, matches two high schools from East Los Angeles, California.

Chelmsford High School (Chelmsford, Massachusetts) Billerica Memorial High School (Billerica, Massachusetts) 54-23-5 1927 Annual Thanksgiving football game. One of the oldest in the Greater Lowell suburban area of Massachusetts. The "Police Chiefs Trophy" is awarded to the winning team each year. The 2010 game saw Chelmsford come from behind in the final minute to win the game, 21-14. [16]

[17]

Clear Lake High School (Lakeport, California) Kelseyville High School (Kelseyville, California) 37-33-7 1930 Oldest, most contentious rivalry in Lake County, California. Most recently the game has been deemed the "Bass Bowl" as the schools are near Clear Lake, one of the world's top bass lakes.

A carved wooden trophy of a a big mouth bass goes to the winning school for the year. Events are to include a parade, bass tournament, beauty pageant, and bowling competition between the schools.

The bass bowl was the brainchild of Kelseyville head coach Rob Ishihara, Boone Bridges, and Phil Smoley.

[18]


Concord High School (Concord, North Carolina) A. L. Brown High School (Kannapolis, North Carolina) 38-34-4 1931 Dubbed the "Battle for the Bell", the two high schools face off for bragging rights and a coveted 1940s Southern Railway Bell, which was donated to promote sportsmanship in the series for the 1950 game. The Bell is painted in transom of the winner's colors, a tribute to the textile heritage of Kannapolis and Concord. Played continuously since 1931, the oldest rivalry in N.C. regularly draws 11–14,000 fans and is preceded by a week of activities (both charitable and rivalry-oriented) at the two schools. In many years during the 1980s-1990s, the game – traditionally the season finale - also decided the South Piedmont Conference title. Concord and A.L Brown have both won two state titles in the past 20 years, and are among the state's traditional football powers. [19]


Barstow High School (Barstow, California) Victor Valley High School (Victorville, California) 44-39-4 1932 Dubbed the "Axe Game", the two high schools in the High Desert of Southern California, play for bragging rights and, until the 1950s, an old fireman's axe. In the 1950s, the fireman's axe was stolen from Barstow High School's trophy case and replaced with the current axe. The rivalry game was started by former Victor Valley High School coach, Keith Gunn. [20]


Hatboro-Horsham High School (Hatboro, Pennsylvania) Upper Moreland High School (Willow Grove, Pennsylvania) 49-20-5 1935 With the first three shows in this rivalry ending in a win, a loss, and a tie, the Golden Bears and the Hatters have competed on every Thanksgiving ever since the depressed 1930s. Though now in different divisions, the two teams continue to light up the annual game. [21]


Murphy High School (Mobile, Alabama) McGill-Toolen Catholic High School (Mobile, Alabama) 46-30-1 1935 One of the oldest rivalries in the state of Alabama, the McGill–Murphy game is traditionally played the Thursday or Friday before Halloween. Though bragging rights and school pride are a major part of the game, both schools compete for the right to "paint the cannon". This is a long-running tradition in which the students of the winning school paint the Cannon in Mobile with the colors of the victorious school (orange for a McGill victory, blue for a Murphy victory). One of the most heated matches in the area, the rivalry has been dubbed the Cannon Bowl by residents. [22]


Fort Hill High School (Cumberland, Maryland) Allegany High School (Cumberland, Maryland) 44-29-4 1936 Game serves as Homecoming for both schools, including the presentation of each school's Homecoming Queen and court at halftime.

Abraham Lincoln High School (San Jose, California) San Jose High Academy 38-24-0 1943 "Big Bone Game," it is the only Thanksgiving-Day high school football rivalry game that is held west of Missouri. Lincoln once passed up a postseason playoff bid so that it could play the Big Bone Game on Thanksgiving. The trophy that is passed to the winner is a cow femur that was found by a Lincoln student in his uncle's butcher shop. The rivalry has been recognized as one of the most unusual and intense in the country by Sporting News and StudentSports.com. [27][28][29]


Jenks High School (Jenks, Oklahoma) Union High School (Tulsa, Oklahoma) 1946 Known as the "Backyard Bowl," the rivalry has received coverage by Sporting News and is the subject of a Versus documentary produced by NFL Films. The annual game is played at the University of Tulsa and has drawn crowds of over 40,000. The annual rivalry game was presented on the Great American Rivalry Series internet broadcast in 2007.

People who never attended either of the rival high schools show up due to the intensity of the game and environment. The matchup is well covered in local newspapers as well as radio and television programs. It regularly draws a crowd of 9,000+. [36]


St. Xavier High School (Louisville, Kentucky) Trinity High School (Louisville, Kentucky) 31-30-2 1956 Dubbed the "St. X/Trinity Game", is one of the five biggest high school rivalries in the nation, according to USA Today and has been labeled the "best prep school rivalry in the country" by Sporting News.

[27][28][33][49][50]


Decatur High School (Decatur, Alabama) Austin High School (Decatur, Alabama) 30-14-0 1965 This rivalry is considered the most heated in North Alabama high school football.

Northside High School (Fort Smith, AR) Southside High School (Fort Smith, AR) 28-18-2 1965 The annual Northside/Southside game is considered to be one of, if not the biggest football rivalries in the state of Arkansas. Southside HS was built in 1963 after the desegregation of Arkansas public schools. The game has came to be called "The Battle for Rogers Ave." as this is the street that divides the cities north side and south side. The game attracts an average of 10,000 fans each year regardless of either teams record for the season, and is broadcast live throughout the region. The two schools boast 15 state championships between them, with Northside claiming 8 and Southside taking 7 since 1986. The schools compete in the 7A class (the largest in the state), comprising high schools from the Little Rock, AR, Fort Smith, AR, Northwest Arkansas, and Memphis, TN metropolitan areas.


Valdosta High School (Valdosta, Georgia) Lowndes High School (Valdosta, Georgia) 33-12-0 1968 Known as "The Winnersville Classic," the rivalry game currently attracts around 14,000 spectators. [27][54][55]


Napa High School (Napa, California) Vintage High School (Napa, California) 23-15-2 1971 Known as "The Big Game," pitting cross town rivals against each other at Napa's Memorial Stadium. In 2008, an ESPN article ranked the venue where the game is played #4 in a list of best high school stadiums. [56]The 6400 seat stadium was remodeled in 2010. [57] [58][59]


Brookstone High School (Columbus, Georgia) Pacelli High School (Columbus, Georgia) 26-14-1 1972 This rivalry, known as the "Battle for the Jug", is played between the largest private schools in Columbus, Georgia. The winner receives the "Broocelli Jug", a blue and red milk jug with the scores of the last 10 games painted on it, as a trophy. [60]


Gainesville High School (Gainesville, Georgia) North Hall High School (Gainesville, Georgia) 18-4-0 1974 "North Hall-GHS" usually takes place in early to mid September and draws an annual crowd of over 10,000 and received national attention on September 14, 1990 when the game was broadcast live nationwide by the ESPN network. The game played was a 19-13 thriller win for North Hall, their 2nd in the series. The winner of this game has been crowned GHSA Region 7-AAA Champion each season since 2002 with the exception of 2006 when the Elephants of Gainesville pulled out a dramatic 29-28 win over the Trojans of North Hall but suffered down the stretch thus allowing the Trojans to take sole possession of first place. This heated rivalry, in recent years, has gone as far as fighting amongst students and even vandalism to respective campuses which threatens this classic North Georgia rivalry altogether. [61]


Naples High School (Naples, Florida) Lely High School (Naples, Florida) 22-15 1974 The longest continuous football rivalry in Collier County began on Thanksgiving Day in 1974. The "Coconut Bowl" was the brainchild of the school principals - Clyde Quinby from the upstart Lely Trojans and Dave Jacobs of the established Naples Golden Eagles. Naples High was split into two schools with Naples High remaining on the North side of town and Lely taking over in East Naples. The winner of this fall classic would lay claim to the Coconut Bowl Trophy a.k.a. the "Nut", and keep it until the next game, when once again, it would go to the winner. Lely won the first contest, and since then, Naples has dominated the series, taking an overall 22-15 advantage in games won. [62]


North Hunterdon High School (Clinton Township, New Jersey) Voorhees High School (Glen Gardner, New Jersey) 21-11-1 1976 The annual Milk Can Game is their last game of the season. After the conclusion of the game, a gold colored milk can is awarded to the winner. This school receives bragging rights and ownership of the can until the next year's game. [63][64][65][66][67]


Glencoe High School (Hillsboro, Oregon) Hillsboro High School (Hillsboro, Oregon) 21-6-0 1980 Cross-town rivals schools with winner getting bragging rights to Hare Field, the stadium is shared between the two schools and the "Home" School rotates every year. The annual rivalry game was presented on the Great American Rivalry Series internet broadcast in 2007. [33][68]


Tarpon Springs High School (Tarpon Springs, Florida) East Lake High School (Tarpon Springs, Florida) 14-8 1987 The Tarpon Springs Spongers were the dominant force in the Tarpon area, making it to the state championship game in 1986. East Lake High School opened the following year, only 15 miles away from the Tarpon campus, and thus driving many would-be Tarpon players to East Lake. Because many of the players and students went to middle school together, animosity was formed from both sides, with the game being the most attended of the year for both schools. Attendance usually ranges from 4,000 to 10,000, almost certain to be a sellout. [69]


Oakdale High School (Oakdale, California) Sonora High School (Sonora, California) 57-31-5 1922 Single-high school rivals that always play the last game of the Vally Oak League season against each other, often drawing crowds of 3,000 or more. [70][70]


Inter-Lakes High School (Meredith, New Hampshire) Winnisquam Regional High School (Tilton, New Hampshire) 3-1-0 2009 A heated rivalry across local teams. Started in 2009 with an Inter-Lakes win in Winnisquam with a score of 21-14. Both teams had been previously undefeated (6-0). Winnisquam at one point led 14-0 and then let up 21 unanswered points en route to an Inter-Lakes victory. The two met in the Division VI final that same year, and Inter-Lakes High School overcame Winnisquam 6-0. It was Inter-Lakes 2nd year as a varsity team. In 2010, the two schools met and Winnisquam came out victorious 7-0. In 2011, Inter-Lakes took the game with a score of 27-6. [71][71]


The Westminster Schools (Atlanta, Georgia) The Lovett School (Atlanta, Georgia) 14-8-0 1976 Dubbed "The Battle of Buckhead," The Westminster Schools and The Lovett School face off every year, often regarded as one of the biggest high school football games in the Atlanta area. Regarded as two of the most prestigious private schools in the State of Georgia, these institutions have had a long history of heated rivalry games dating back to the 1950s. Prominent athletes such as Gordon Beckham, Sedrick Hodge, Knox Culpepper, and Chip Myrick have all played in this contest, as well as public official and Georgia State Senator Candidate Hunter Hill. Sportsmanship has been known to be poor during these games, as the game was discontinued from 1981 to 1994. Even in recent years, both schools have come under scrutiny for bad behavior at the game, as many Westminster fans were seen holding a giant banner during the 2007 contest, which stated "Thanks for Applying," a sign of disrespect towards their Lovett opponents. Still, both schools manage to promotes positive attitudes and contributions towards their community, as proceeds from the annual rivalry t-shirts go to benefit the Habitat for Humanity Foundation. Likewise, students, faculty, and parents of the schools maintain strong friendships with their down-the-street rival and play an integral part in the affluent Buckhead community. [72][73][74]


Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (McDonough, Georgia) Henry County High School (McDonough, Georgia) 2-2-0 2008 ELCA (Eagle's Landing Christian Academy) and Henry County High School has a football rivalry since 2008. The rivalry is nicknamed the "Holy War of Henry County." They are rivals not based on classification because ELCA is Class-A Region 5 and Henry County is Class AAA Region 4 (Class AA Region 4 until 2010), but based on location because Henry County and ELCA are located in McDonough, GA. In the 2008 football season, Henry County Warhawks defeated ELCA Chargers at home 39-12. In the 2009 football season, Henry County Warhawks defeated the ELCA Chargers at the Commitment Field (ELCA home field) 16-24. In the 2010 football season, ELCA Chargers ended the Henry County Warhawks win streak by defeating them at Henry County High School's home field 13-6. In the 2011 football season, ELCA Chargers defeated the Henry County Warhawks again 23-14. [75][76][77]
