catholic webb even though it wasnt much of a rivalry for about 15 years but since coach pemberton showed up at catholic it has been as highly contested as ever

I second the DeKalb Co.-Cannon Co. rivalry. Our teams and towns hate each other with a passion and it seems that Cannon Co. can never win. DeKalb has one in the past 46 meetings. Not to mention the rivalry game is always a good one and it's most always either one of the team's homecoming game.

Milan-Huntingdon in football.

Milan-Humboldt in any sport. We hate each other.

Oldest rivalry in the state was played 2 weeks ago its has been played for 80 years.

South Pittsburg and Marion County.

 

I'm not sure, but Ive always heard that Maryville-Alcoa game was the oldest in the state, and I know for sure it's been reported on the news that way. 80+ years I think. But I would agree that SP and Marion Co. is a bigger rivalry game than Maryville Alcoa even if it is not the oldest. Yall are crazy.

You really can't call it a rivalry anymore, though. Sure, back then it may have been, but you know just as well as I do that it has been a loooooooooooooooooong time since Cookeville lost to White county.

According to the Chattanooga newspaper who used the TSSAA as a reference it is considered the oldest consecutive rivalry. If there is a older consecutive rivalry the Times-FreePress needs to consult their sources again. I have always heard it was the oldest consecutive rivalry and I started going to that game back in 1978. "South Pittsburg vs. Marion is the measuring stick that a lot of other rivalries need to look to" according to what was said on a radio call-in show in 1998.

This year the biggest rivalry is CPA and DCA. Historically the winner coming out of the west in 1A is the best from Region 5. Sine Ezell Harding is way down this year, CPA and DCA are the big dogs in the west. Chances are good they will meet twice.

Alcoa vs. Maryville is by far the biggest rivalry in the east, closely followed by Bearden vs. Farragut. The Alcoa/Maryville rivalry is just big because from one school to the other is a 5 minute car ride and thousands of fans from across east tn (and of course from each school) attend. It's also the first game of the year for both teams and being that they both are generally very good, it is a measuring stick for the fans for what to expect from the season.
