Tonight marks a storied clash in the 21st season of the Great American Rivalry Series, as the North Medford Black Tornado face off against the South Medford Panthers in the electrifying Black and Blue Bowl at Speigelberg Stadium. With a series standing at 12-8 in favor of North Medford over 20 hard-fought meetings, anticipation is high for another chapter in this rivalry’s history. 

Both teams come into this matchup neck and neck, following a defensive showdown last year that saw a mere 10 points scored between them. As tradition dictates, these fierce rivals have traded victories every season since the inaugural game in 2004, adding intensity to every play. With a packed crowd of 6,000 fans expected, Speigelberg Stadium will be pulsating with excitement and pride. Who will emerge victorious this year?
