I propose to delete this article. The subject is a non-notable HIGH SCHOOL sports rivalry that fails the specific notability guidelines of WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:NRIVALRY, as well as the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG. As editors who are familiar with our sports and events notability guidelines should be aware, we err on the side of NOT including high school athletes, sports teams, events and rivalries in Wikipedia because they are of extremely limited interest to our readers, and are usually heavily dependent on local and non-independent sources for documentation.

- Delete Some college rivalries are notable; high school rivalries generally not. A pity, because someone has devoted a lot of effort to this page. I would have suggested a redirect, so as to at least keep the history, but there are two possible targets - namely, the two schools - and neither has the edge as primary topic. Same problem with a redirect to the school district; the schools are in different school districts. So I don't see any alternative to deletion. -- MelanieN ( talk) 16:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. The nominator puts it so well, including citing the relevant guidelines, that there is little else that I can add except to reinforce the routine of the coverage of what is not a professional game and what is only of local or at best regional, interest. The fact that it may have been taking place for a long time does not score any points for notability and it's not exactly a boat race. The game has coverage in the school articles but both of them place far more emphasis - using peacock words - on sport rather than on academic achievement.
