Chester Yellowjackets vs Colmesneil Bulldogs - the upper Tyler County battle royale.  FM 1745 separates the town by 15 miles.  I was surprised to see the win-loss-tie total was 30-30-3.  That’s a pretty evenly matched series.  This rivalry started in 1950 and the last match-up was 2009.  The rivalry ended when Chester went down to 6-man, and who knows - may start back up one day.

Them boys at Motiva from PA say different.. lol they wanna hang 50 burger tomorrow. Something happened last year? 

No, happened last evening. Someone from BH poked the bear. I don't see it being pretty tomorrow night for them, but we'll see. 

 

Hard to call it a rivalry when we're 3-0.

Mid-County Madness is the best rivalry in the state, if not American high school football altogether. Its place in this thread is a given.

After that, for PN-G, I think PAM and WO-S are the closest things we have to another rival in SETX. PAM revives all the history between PN-G, TJ and Lincoln. WO-S and PN-G played some fantastic games back in the days before WO-S started dropping classifications.

Once upon a time, I would have told you the Soul Bowl was a great rivalry, and that PN-G had a budding rivalry with Central. Those days are, unfortunately, long gone. The Beaumont Bowl has potential if United and West Brook can ever get things figured out.

I agree with earlier comments about the triangle formed between Silsbee, WO-S and Jasper. I am hopeful Hamshire-Fannett will find a way to consistently stay in that mix, but only time will tell. Either way, I think the Golden Triangle has the best of 4ADII football.

Regarding how Vidor and LC-M feel about the Mid-County teams, I look at them as the angry exes of 20-4A football. Not that I wouldn’t mind seeing PN-G and Nederland resume those series. It’s just clear those feelings have always been mostly one-way. (I did like to think of the Mardi Gras Bowl as a potential nickname for the PN-G/LC-M series back in the day, though.)

I would like to see Lumberton come back into the same district as the Mid-County teams some day. Lots of Mid-County natives live in Raider Country these days. It just feels like there’s potential there.

When I was still in HS (80’s to early 90’s) WB/Central game, the true Beaumont Bowl turned 18-20k people at Lamar. It was second to the PNG/Ned game

Me and @BMTSoulja1 was talking awhile back about that. We knew about the BMT Bowl before MCM.
