The Longest Private School Football Rivalry in TN

[RicFlare]

Hello Friends, On Sept 14th, 2018  Goodpasture and Lipscomb are set to play in their 50th football game (1973-2018). They have played for 45 years straight and have met 4 times in the playoffs. My question to you guys, " Is there a rivalry that is longer in private school vs private school football than this one"?  If so, does it span more than 50 consecutive games ? Father Ryan, BGA, and MBA rivalries come to mind but have they played the same private school more than 50 times in a row?

That was a great site.

 

Father Ryan and MBA has been playing as far back as I can recall  (I'm in my mid 50's).

Baylor McCallie. Period.

Father Ryan-MBA. Going on 100 years

Baylor and McCallie are probably the longest continuous rivalry. MBA and Ryan have played since Ryan opened, but there were a few years in the period where the TSSAA went from 3 classifications to 5 that MBA played AAAAA and Ryan AAAA, and they didn't play.

The turnouts to the Baylor McCallie games are unreal. You’d think you were in Texas. 

 

Webb and Catholic use to be a good one until it ended a few years back.

Ok here is what I found out so far...McCallie and Baylor have the oldest rivalry starting in 1905. They have played 85 games and this years game will be the 51st in a row. They have met three times in the playoffs during that stretch. Father Ryan and MBA would have had the longest streak in a row but they stopped for two seasons in the 90's. Now that Goodpasture and Lipscomb are the same Division they could possibly catch McCallie and Baylor because of playoffs. However McCallie and Baylor could play in the playoffs too. If anybody has any more info on Memphis or Knoxville area private school rivalries I would like to start a list of games played. The McCallie vs Baylor rivalry sounds like a great ballgame to attend and so far has the longest consecutive streak.
