Talk:List of high school football rivalries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] An Appeal

To whom it may concern: Hi! This is my first attempt at creating a page. I hope that it is noteworthy enough for wikipedia. I thought there might be some potential, some schools have rivalries going back to the 1800s in mass., I have heard. I thought we could sort by date, oldest ones first. Maybe we could have a cutoff, too, like: "rivalry must be at least 100 years old". Is this topic worthy of an article? Any thoughts AtLLo 16:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi this is my first reply from todays New York Times. PS I went to Needham High

America's oldest public high school, the Boston Latin School, is also half of America's oldest continuous Thanksgiving football rivalry. The Latin School Wolfpack has played the English High School Bulldogs every year since 1887. (Two high schools west of Boston, Needham and Wellesley, began a similar Thanksgiving rivalry in 1882, but they have not played every year.)

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE The true fact!!!!!!!!!

NEW LONDON CONNECTICUT VS NORWICH FREE ACADIMY The first game in this rivalry was 1875!! I did some research, and this is the oldest football rivalry, HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE, in this great nation. The next closest ones are a few high schools in Mass.
