Welcome to Peve Stadium, the stage for one of Missouri’s most storied high school football rivalries, the Rockhurst Hawklets vs. the Blue Springs Wildcats. This highly anticipated showdown features two of the Show Me state’s most successful programs and will be highlighted in the 23rd season of the Great American Rivalry Series. 

The all-time series record sits at 34-27 in Blue Springs Favor. The Wildcats took last year’s contest with a final score of 38-29. Last year’s contest was action packed, highlighted by a 74-yard scoop and score touchdown from GARS MVP Devin Staley of Blue Springs, along with a Blue Springs pick-six to seal the deal late in the fourth quarter. The 62nd edition of this rivalry is set to be an intense one under the lights of Peve Stadium. 

Both Rockhurst and Blue Springs boast deep football traditions, including multiple state championships and decades of gridiron excellence. Each season, their rivalry draws thousands of fans, and this year promises to be no different. 

Mark your calendars for October 2nd, as more than 5,000 fans are expected to fill the stands in Kansas City for this epic battle. Will Rockhurst reassert its dominance, or will Blue Springs make it three in a row against the Hawklets? 

We Know Friday Nights.
