Archbishop Hoban and St. Vincent St. Mary has been a rivalry since the late 1950s when St. Vincent and St. Mary were two different schools. This rivalry only intensified when the two schools combined to form St. Vincent St. Mary.

The rivalry went dormant from 1977 until 1996. Since then, things have been heated each season when these two Ohio teams face off. Several standouts have played in this rivalry down the years, including LeBron James. Who will shine this season?
