In my opinion, one of the biggest rivalries in not just east tenn,but in the state would be LENOIR CITY v.s. LOUDON.This however is just my opinion.I believe that a rivalry comes from not hatred of another team,but being able to play a team and no matter how bad either one of the seasons have been,you can still go out there as if it were the state championship and play like you will never have the opportunity to play again because that game is what it is all about.My rival is Loudon,other players have different rivals,but in all aspect,each rival is just as big as the other that people have posted about,it is how deep it burns inside of the player as to how big the rival is to them
