Both schools share a renovated stadium that holds 7,000 + fans. Even though these teams play on a neutral field, this rivalry is fierce. Ankeny Centennial currently leads the series at 6-2 but Ankeny High School dominated the 2020 matchup winning 48-6. Ankeny Centennial looks to continue their success in the series and revenge for the game last season.
