Welcome to Bishop Kaffer Stadium, where the Providence Catholic Celtics will be hosting the Joliet Catholic Hilltoppers in the latest chapter of the “Holy Wars.” These two teams are part of one of the most historic rivalries in our illustrious 21st season of the Great American Rivalry Series. Their first meeting dates back to 1989, and they have since faced off 17 times in a tightly competitive series, with Providence Catholic leading 9-8. 

In their last matchup, the Joliet Catholic Hilltoppers took one step closer to evening the series with a 31-21 victory in the State Semifinal game. Neither team has been a stranger to success and postseason glory, the Celtics have won 10 State Championships, while the Hilltoppers have claimed 15 State Titles. Joliet Catholic has also produced NFL talent, being the home of 3-time All-Pro and Super Bowl Champion Mike Alstott. 

Mark your calendars for October 25th, when 5,500 fans will pack into Bishop Kaffer Stadium to witness another thriller between these two historic programs.
