West High looks to stay unblemished in the annual rivalry game against the City High Little Hawks. Last year, a buzzsaw at running back for City High named Ronald Thompson eviscerated the West High defense for 362 rushing yards, paving the way for a 42-24 Little Hawk win. This year it is the West High Trojans who are favored, sporting an unbeaten record and a dangerous offense.

But this is a rivalry game, so anything can happen. Will City High be able to steal a win and claim victory in the Battle for the Boot once again? It should be a good one.
