Welcome to Hughes Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, where 10,000 fans will gather for one of America’s oldest and most tradition-rich high school football rivalries between the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute Engineers and the Baltimore City College Black Knights. First played in 1889, this legendary showdown has been a pillar of Baltimore sports history for over 130 years and will be featured in the 22nd season of the Great American Rivalry Series, honoring over 100 of the nation’s most storied matchups. 

Across 135 total meetings, City College holds the all-time series edge 67–62–2, including a commanding 40–0 victory in last year’s game. Adding to the drama, City College enters this year riding an impressive streak of 13 consecutive wins, deepening the rivalry’s stakes for fans, players, and alumni. 

Circle November 1st on your calendar as these two historic programs clash once again. Will Poly snap the streak and narrow the series gap, or will City College extend its recent dominance?
