Longest continuous rivalry in the U.S. is Norwich Free Academy & New London High School in SE Connecticut. I believe that they 1st played in either 1879 or 1889. I will check to verify the year. Its the Thanksgiving morning game so tons of alumni that are back home visiting are there to watch it. A lot of tailgating (Kegs & Eggs) goes on.

i would have to say that most of them r good some r great but NO one said anything about the USJ vs. bruceton. that has to be in the top 5 of all time. they play 2 times a yr. one is to see who will move to the next round in the playoffs and it is all ways a close game. i move to missouri and i was talking to the coach here and he said who do you think will win the USJ vs. bruceton game this yr. so what im tryin to say is if people in missouri know about this game it has to be one of the best!

Camden and Bruceton have been playing each other since 1948 with Bruceton dominating until the 1960's and early 70's then again in the early 80's when it was Camden's turn...but it never lasted long and Bruceton would dominate again like in the late 80's and throughout the 90's when Bruceton was a major powerhouse and it wasn't pretty for Camden....now into the 21st century Camden has become the dominate one and both teams have decided to move on to other competition...this coming season will mark the only season since 1947 that these two teams haven't met (except a couple years in the late 70's and if anyone remembers why we didn't play I'd be interested to know)...I for one will miss this very heated rivalry that no matter how far down the other was it was still the most looked forward to game of the season....good luck to the Tigers this season and maybe we will play again soon thumb

    • They've had some great talent over the years. They usually don't whip no one but can be tough to stop on offence.
    • Could be a lot of reason from what I’ve seen so far.  The lights wouldn’t turn on at Smyrna last night and had to move games to Blackman could be a reason or maybe he is talking about how on some of the games on NFHS network the camera placement was absolutely asinine. ( had a camera set up right in front of a net and couldn’t see crap)
    • If Gordonsville can manage getting through these next 2 games without using him it will be ideal. ER was the last team to not have to pitch their #1 till the state championship i believe. Worked out well for them but they also had one of the best 1A staffs of all time that year. Only allowed one run the whole tournament and it was in the 7th inning.
    • And he’s not even their #1. Lights out performance. Gordonsville is in the drivers seat with their #1 arm available throughout the tournament.
    • Close, after watching today I will take Alcoa and Meigs in the winers bracket games.
