Welcome to Midland Community Stadium in Midland, Michigan, where 9,000 fans will pack the stands for one of the state’s most celebrated high school football rivalries—the City Championship between the Dow Chargers and the Midland Chemics. First played in 1970, this annual clash will be featured in the 22nd season of the Great American Rivalry Series, spotlighting over 100 of the nation’s greatest high school matchups. 

Midland holds a commanding lead in the all-time series, 39–17, and continued its dominance last season with a 17–6 victory, bringing the total to 56 meetings between these cross-town rivals. Beyond the field, the Chemics have produced NFL talent, most notably Andrew Wylie, who helped the Kansas City Chiefs secure a Super Bowl title before continuing his career in Washington. 

Circle October 24th on your calendar as these two storied programs meet again to decide city bragging rights. Will Dow close the gap, or will Midland keep its pursuit?
