Rivalries Contest

It's time to team with your biggest rival to win $10,000.

 USA TODAY High School Sports has selected three of the top rivalries in each state, plus Washington D.C., and now it's up to you to decide the nation's best high school football rivalry. All of these rivalries represent decades, and sometimes more than a century, of the greatest competition, and plenty of bad blood. But now those communities must bind together to win a state (and perhaps a national) title.

 Each state’s best rivalry, as voted on by you, will be named after voting ends at 11 a.m. EST on Dec. 3. The 51 winners will advance to the regional competition, where four winners will emerge for the national competition, which will conclude with the crowning of the nation’s top high school football rivalry at 11 a.m. EST on Dec. 19. The national winner will receive $10,000 - to be split evenly between the two schools.

 So just this once, we’re asking these bitter rivals to play together on one team for one common goal. And then you can go back to despising one another.

 Please direct your school and community to vote here:
