Welcome to Napa Memorial Stadium, the home of the “Big Game” between the Vintage Crushers and the Napa Grizzlies. Located just north of San Francisco, this fierce rivalry has been a staple of California high school football since 1972 and will be showcased as one of over 100 games in the 22nd season of the Great American Rivalry Series. 

Over the course of 52 matchups, the Grizzlies hold a 29-21-2 edge in the all-time series. However, momentum has shifted in recent years. Vintage has dominated, winning the last 11 straight, including a decisive 42-8 victory in 2024. Before the Crushers’ streak, Napa had strung together 11 wins of their own, proving how competitive and cyclical this rivalry has been. 

Mark your calendars for October 3rd, as 7,000 passionate fans are expected to fill the stands in anticipation. Will the Crushers extend their streak to a dozen straight, or can the Grizzlies flip the script and reclaim control in one of California’s most storied high school football matchups?
