[edit] comments

No, thats not true. The Blair-Peddie one is the oldest.

This article needs cleanup from the last time I worked on it. Copying school admissions literature and tracts from local history books is plagiarism, and needs to be weeded out. —ExplorerCDT 15:30, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And it's untrue. The Newark Academy-Pingry football rivalry is New Jersey's oldest, dating to the 1870s. Daniel Case 4 July 2005 05:23 (UTC)

[edit] National prep wrestling championships

The article claims Blair Academy won 26 straight, but St. Edward High School (Lakewood, Ohio) claims they won some during those years so I added a citation needed tag. It could be due to something like different prep and national titles, but I couldn't find anything when I searched for it. Either way it needs a citation and an explanation. - Taxman Talk 14:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
