Welcome to J. Lewis Boggus Stadium in Texas, where 9,000 fans will pack in for the 33rd meeting of the “Bird Bowl” to see one of the Lone Star State’s most anticipated showdowns between the Harlingen South Hawks and the Harlingen Cardinals.  

First played in 1993, this crosstown rivalry has fueled school spirit and bragging rights for over three decades and will be featured in the 23rd season of the Great American Rivalry Series, spotlighting over 100 of the nation’s most iconic high school football matchups. Harlingen now leads the all-time rivalry series 27-6 after the Hawks of Harlingen South finally flipped the script with a 17-0 victory in last year’s matchup. 

Circle September 4th on your calendar, as these two proud programs face off once again under the Friday night lights. Will Harlingen South continue its winning momentum, or will Harlingen reclaim its dominance with their 28th victory in the series?
