Biggest High School sports rivalry?

[DOH!]

What is the biggest high school rivalry in your state?


Here in Oklahoma it has to be the Tulsa Union/Jenks football game.
Simply known as the backyard bowl. Every year both teams play a regular season game at the University of Tulsa (Jenks won this year 27-25) and every year they end up playing against each other in the state title game. Union won last year. It usually seems to flip around by whoever wins the backyard bowl loses the state title.



Other good bets in Oklahoma is
Tulsa Edison vs Tulsa Memorial in basketball

El Reno (OKC) vs Claremore (Tulsa) Wrestling

Tulsa Union vs Broken Arrow (Tulsa) Wrestling

Bixby (Tulsa) vs Tulsa Bishop Kelley Football

Mustang (OKC) vs Yukon (OKC) Football

What are some good rivalries in your state??

Also, what else is great about your state high school sports and arts? State titles? National titles?

idk about the state but in NYC its Lincoln(Alma Mater of Marbury, Telfair, Jesus Shuttlesworth) vs Everybody Else In Basketball

The rivalry between Male and DuPont in Louisville dates back to 1892 and they play the game in Cardinal Stadium, where the University of Louisville plays. My stepdad, who lives in Louisville, says the atmosphere at those games is unlike any other in high school football.

In Cleveland, it's probaby Saint Ignatius versus Saint Edwards. Both are boys schools, and the feud is called the Holy War.

It directly affects my life: Monroe-Woodbury vs. Newburgh. That's a clash of two AA schools with completely different upbringings.

I'm sure its dwarfed by other rivalries in the state, but I know my high school football team (the Medford Mustangs) have a rivalry with Malden. The only reasons I think it could be considered kind of "big" is that it has been going on for decades and that in the 1980s while still in office, President Ronald Reagan wrote a letter to the school wishing them the best of luck (the letter is still displayed in the school's hallways).

Abliene High School vs. Chapman High School in Kansas.

[Hugh Mungus]

In New York, there's Johnstown Sir Bills vs. Gloversville Huskies in HS football.

The battle of Texarkana between the Arkansas side and the Texas side probably.

From rivals.com:

6. Texarkana "Battle for the Border"

This game is between two schools from the same town that actually are from
different states since the border between Texas and Arkansas runs through
Texarkana along Interstate 30. The annual rivalry between Texas High and
Arkansas High kicks off the season for the football-crazed community.

Oooo, I dunno that's maybe a split between Odessa Permian and Midland Lee or Plano vs Plano East. Too close to call

There aren't any overly major ones in PA. At least that I've heard of and I've moved around a little.

In our county, ours was pretty big locally as we had two high schools and shared the field. Half the time the games were fairly disappointing, though.

Where I'm at now, it's just awful. The so called rivalries seem to consist of games that end up 40-0. Seriously. Half the six or so games listed each week would end with a team not scoring a single point.

[Sana's got that SUPA LUV]

In my area, it's Westview vs Jesuit in ANY sport.

[Robbymac]

Iowa is either West Des Moines Dowling vs. West Des Moines Valley or Iowa City High vs. Iowa City West

[H-Fist]

Chicago Public League basketball players vs. literacy.

[fw91]

Not my state, but who could forget the big multisport rivalry between Bayside and Valley? ;D

Putnam City High School vs. Putnam City North vs. Putnam City West

The yearly game between PCO and PCN is called the Battle of the Expressway, as the Northwest Expressway that cuts through northwestern Oklahoma City divides the two schools.

Also, this three way rivalry is somewhat important, as PCW and PCN don't have football stadiums, just football practice fields, at their schools, so they use the stadium at PCO, and as such, whichever school wins the majority of the games between them gets the stadium named after them for the next season and gets overall homefield advantage. During all 3 of my years at PCO the stadium was called Pirate Stadium, as we dominated all 3 years. These last two years, the stadium has been called Panther Stadium, as PCN has dominated.

Just to give you an idea of how lame my high school was, our mascot was the Cheesemakers and our big rivals were the Seaside Seagulls and the Astoria Fishermen. Go Cowapa League!
