[125] This rivalry is noted to be one of the most competitive and meaningful rivalry in Colorado. With the Emergence of Valor High School it could become more of a three team battle for the 5A state title, rather the past couple of years where it has been Mullen or Creek. [126]
Tarpon Springs High School (Tarpon Springs, Florida) East Lake High School (Tarpon Springs, Florida) 14-8-0 1987 The Tarpon Springs Spongers were the dominant force in the Tarpon area, making it to the state championship game in 1986. East Lake High School opened the following year, only 15 miles away from the Tarpon campus, and thus driving many would-be Tarpon players to East Lake. Because many of the players and students went to middle school together, animosity was formed from both sides, with the game being the most attended of the year for both schools. Attendance usually ranges from 4,000 to 10,000, almost certain to be a sellout. [127]
