high school rivals

[footballfiji]

I went to Opelika High School in Opelika, Alabama.

Our colors are Red/Black/White (just like the university of Georgia)

Our biggest Rival is Auburn High School (Auburn, Al) who are the Tigers just like Auburn University. However, Auburn High's colors are Royal Blue, Black and Silver. (black was added recently and now dominates the football uniforms).

A little history about the rivalry. Opelika takes it extremely seriously and have a full "Beat Auburn Week" with dress up days, two pep rallies (one at the beginning and of the week and one on game day).

A tradition we had that I think has since ended:

Our school is set up with One long Main Highway (called Mainstreet) and 5 highways off of that. Our gym where we have the pep rallies is at one end and the cafeteria is at the other. Each class has a their homeroom on a specific hallway (Seniors hall 5, Juniors hall 4, etc...Admin are on Hall 1).

Anyway, the tradition was this: The Senior Class officers had a coffin with a Tiger on top of it...before the pep rally the would start at the end of the senior hallway and would march in dead silence like a funeral procession up the senior homerooms and as they passed the senior class would fall in line then they'd go down the junior hallway with the procession growing larger and larger until the ENTIRE student body (except the team, band, and cheerleaders who already in the gym) was in one long funeral procession and as each hall was empty the lights were turned off so imagine an entire school, dead silent, in a funeral procession and then would file into the gym still silent until the head coach grabs the microphone and screams Beat Auburn and the whole place erupts.

-phew that's a long post.

I am a proud graduate of St. Jospeh Regional High School in Montvale, New Jersey (Class of 1983). The School's team name is The Green Knights Green, Gold/Yellow and White. The main rivals for SJR in Football is Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, New Jersey Crimson/Maroon, Black and White The Ironmen, and Bergen Catholic in Oradell, New Jersey Crimson/Red, White. and Gold the Crusaders. These three teams are ususally in the Top 10 Rankings in the NJ High School Football Polls.

I got to Evergreen High School in Vancouver, WA aka reigning 4A Football State Champs.

Our rival is Mountain View HS also in Vancouver.

Tonight we have the annual "Cheeseburger Challenge" at Burgerville where 5 of our starting football players face five of MVHS's and our principals in a burger eating contest. The team that consumes the most in 5 minutes is victorious.

Friday is our game against them, and for the past 3 years we have won. Now it's my senior year, and we are about even skill wise for football. I'm worried, but I have faith in my boys.

I know those schools. I used to live in a town called Longview in Washington state.

It had two schools: The Mark Morris Monarchs (Baby Blue and White, current helmet for football is a Tennessee Titans rip-off) and the R.A Long Lumberjacks (Black and Red)

Also in the area were the Kelso Hilanders (Yellow and Blue).

I had the honor (or dishonor?) of being an Aitkin (H.S.) Gobbler in Aitkin, Minn. The town had a turkey plant back in the day, hence the name.

Our hated rival was the Crosby-Ironton Rangers -- an apt name since they're located on part of Minnesota's Iron Range.

What a lot of people don't know, though, is there's a bunch of Minnesota high schools that don't have hockey programs and, in a lot of cases, don't give a damn about the sport.

Mine was one of those, so much so that the few students (in my day, two) who actually wanted to play had to be part of a team merged with our rival Crosby-Ironton and another town called Pequot Lakes. During my days 10 years ago they were the CIAPL Rangers.

I went to George Washington High School in Philadelphia, PA, home of the Eagles (which is funny because the helmet logo was that of the Iowa Hawkeyes). Class of 1999.

Up until last year, the Philly public schools never played for state titles, just what was called the Public League championship. Every once in a while, a school would schedule one of their first two games against suburban schools. The big game, of course, is the Thanksgiving Day game, because teams would usually play their nearest Catholic school's team. For us, it, it's the Archbishop Ryan Red Raiders. The most legendary contest was in 1989, when GW beat Ryan in the famous Thanksgiving Day Snowstorm.

Last year GW became the first Public League team to qualify for the State playoffs, and because of that, they had to move their game against Ryan to the night before Thanksgiving because the team they were playing in the championship had a game Thursday as well and the playoff game was Saturday.

The problem with the PL being eligible for the State Playoffs is that iat it messed up the divisional system that brought with it a five-way rivalry in Northeast Philadelphia. It was always us, the Frankford Pioneers, the Northeast Vikings, the Lincoln Railsplitters, and the Central Lancers. Northeast was our locational rival, but our archrival was Central. It's such a high-falutin' pretty boy school (or at least it was). It still is, alas now Central is out of the division and we're left to deal with Frankford.

mine: Swampscott Big Blue, colors Blue and White

Rival: Marblehead Magicians, colors Red and Black

The story goes that the rivalry between the two schools were so intense that when they started wearing colored uniforms, they took the colors from one of the more historic rivalrys in college football: Harvard-Yale. Another note is that while Big Blue might not sound that intimidating, it's much better than the former name. the Swampscott Sculpins. which if you look it up is a small, spiny urchin-like sea creature

RIVAL East Central Trojans(Indiana)

Thats right go ahead and rub it in dilbert You guys are gonna kicks our arses to hell and back on friday

Even though you guys are in the FAVC. You guys are not as much rivals, but more of just another team in the league.

And Yes we will kick your arses to hell and back , but its really just icing on the cake as we are most definetly in the playoffs.

Bayonne High School Fighting Bees

vs

Marist High School Knights

The two HS football teams in Bayonne, NJ.

Recently the annual Thanksgiving Game has been cancelled because the two Athletic Directors have had a falling out, but from the 1930's until 1989, there was no bigger game than Bayonne vs Marist on Thanksgiving.

Also, both schools share the same football stadium. Added a lil something to the game.

MINE: Haddonfield Memorial High School , Haddonfield, NJ. Class of '94.

Mascot: Bulldogs

Colors: Umm... care to guess? (Yeah, all our stuff was knockoff UGA gear, with the "G" on UGA's hat changed to an "H".)

RIVAL: Traditionally, it's Haddon Heights High School - we've got the 3rd longest Thanksgiving Day rivalry in the country. I played in the 100th anniversary of the game. They're called the Garnets, their colors are garnet and gold, like Arizona State. Odder still, their mascot is Sparky the Devil, but they replaced the pitchfork in his hand with a large garnet. But really, we don't like anyone in our conference and they don't like us - dominating the conference for 2 decades and then some makes for some animosity.

Whittier Tech Wildcats (Haverhill, MA)

Colors: Maroon and Old Gold

Logos: Primary "WT" in a Wake Forrest style

Secondary Clemson type of pawprint

Though we did play other regular high schools as well, we mostly played the other Tech high schools in the area. We used to have an annual Thanksgiving Day Eve football game with Greater Lawrence, but they've since decided to switch to play against regular Lawrence High for a intercity game. We still play them every year, and we're the two closest in proximity Tech schools but we have pretty good rivalries with the other schools too.
