The Big River Rivalry is a high school football all-star game pitting the top players from north of the James River against the best that the south of the river has to offer. Players from every high school, public and private, in the Richmond "All-Metro" area are eligible to compete. The game has been a major success for the past two years, providing both an excellent showcase for many of our local players, as well as an opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause.
The inaugural event saw the North prevail over the South 35-34 in front of a packed house at Randolph-Macon's Day Field, as Cedric Bridges of John Marshall blocked a last-second field goal that would have won the game for the South. The media coverage of the game was terrific, with reports by VirginiaPreps, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and all of the local television stations. Sportsradio 910 WRNL also broadcast the thrilling game live.
