Oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi

[Joe Gress]

So this Friday is going to be the Centennial High School vs. Central High School bell game. The game is the oldest running rivalry west of the Mississippi, starting in 1892. A bunch of my friends from the college are going, so I think I am to. I'm not sure, but we might be helping the Central marching band out since they are having a hard time this year.

my high school football team was so bad that the freshman team had a fifth quarter so that the people who sucked too hard to play in the actual game could feel special. so no, i cant relate. sorry.

We talking strictly high school rivalries here? Cause the Mizzou/KU rivalry predates that.

Yeah, just high school. I have been talking to most of the student around here, and this is quite a big game. Even if they did not go to either Centennial or Central, they have gone to the game, and have rooted for one side or the other. I guess the stadium holds 12500, and it get's over filled every year. (Pueblo is a town of 100,000 people) I'm still debating on weather on not I should go with one bunch of my friends (but they'll be doing other extra-curricular activities during the game that I did last week that I'm not sure I want to do again), or play with the other teams marching band.
