	IHSA - Illinois H.S.toric: The Greatest High School Football Rivalry in Illinois
		As was college football in the 1890s high school football was likewise a vigorous cultural expression of the middle to upper classes and the ethos and values of secondary schools students were thus closely patterned after what they saw in the universities and colleges among their older brothers and sisters.
		In Illinois, schools across the state by the end of the 1890s were conducting their own "Harvard-Yale" rivalries, and by far the most notable of these was that between Hyde Park and Englewood.
		The school was still carrying on the tradition of using alumni to coach its team, which was a violation of the new league rules.

	Louisville Male High School Rivalry
		Closer than brothers because the school and their students, teachers and alumni have from 1893 right up to today been bound inseparably together in one of the closest of all ties, frequently -- it has turned into a sort of affectionate enmity, even hatred.
		It soon became, and still remains, almost literally a matter of life and death which school should triumph in any contest in which they engaged.
		Most of all, that rivalry flowered, sometimes exploded, into one of the longest, bitterest series of football games to be found anywhere in America.

		Some alumi from both schools claim that the La Salle-Ateneo basketball game (National Collegiate Athletic Association) in 1939 might have started the rivalry, a game which allegedly prompted La Salle fans to throw fried chickens at the Padre Faura gate of the old Ateneo campus during the Archers’ victory parade.

		IU and Purdue came together last week, and in the spirit of that famous school rivalry we know all too well, asked their respective seniors to donate money to their imminent alma mater.
		Where the train jumps the tracks is they've pulled school rivalry into the already-murky process.
		Rivalry is an idea that works for the blood drive challenge -- but it's an idea that comes off as cheap and transparent when we're asked to donate money to our school just to beat another school.

		I don't recall any major rivalry, with the exception of maybe who had the best price on a lid (if you are too young to know what that is, don't ask).
		We had about 6 high schools, but 4 were small fry who played Class C or something, so the only one we played was the other Class A school-- which was known as the rich-itch school*.

		I remember during my senior playing my last basketball game in high school and we hosted them to end my final year in basketball; in that game they were playing for another spot in the playoffs (they had made the playoffs several years in a row before) and we were second-to-last in the district.
		Not only did we win our final game in high school coming from 16 back, not only did we sweep the season series for the first time in school history, but we eliminated them from making the playoffs with that win and terminated their long playoff streak.

		In fact, the closest professional rivalry, as evidenced by antics during the graduation ceremony, is between the Law School and Med School, which, ironically, are separated by 45 miles.
		During the height of the rivalry, KU commissioned Daniel Chester French (of Lincoln Memorial fame) to sculpt a likeness of Uncle Jimmy Green, a popular law school dean who had died five years earlier.
