Welcome to the Michael Glaspie Athletic Complex, where 11,000 fans will gather under the lights for a high-stakes showdown between the James Martin Warriors and the Arlington Colts. First played in 2004, this crosstown rivalry has been a fixture on the Texas high school football calendar. The two teams have met 21 times since its inception, with Arlington holding a 15–6 advantage in the series and will be featured in the 22nd season as one of over 100 games in the Great American Rivalry Series. 

Last year, the Colts earned a 49–31 win, snapping Martin’s five-game winning streak in the rivalry. The history of this game shows as NFL All-Pro Myles Garrett (Browns) once suited up for James Martin in this rivalry. Arlington will look to keep momentum going, while Martin hopes to reclaim bragging rights in this fiercely contested matchup. 

On November 6th, expect hard-hitting football, a packed house, and the kind of Friday night atmosphere that makes Texas high school football legendary.
