Football Returns: Tigers and Eagles Reignite Historic Rivalry
24 Sep
Summary
- Shady Spring and Woodrow Wilson will compete in all sports.
- Football games will resume between the rivals for the first time since 1939.
- The Flying Eagles historically dominated matchups against the Tigers.
A significant cross-county rivalry is set to be fully revived next school year as Shady Spring High School and Woodrow Wilson High School have agreed to partner across all athletic competitions. This includes football, a sport that has not seen these two local schools face off on the gridiron since 1939.
While the schools have regularly competed in sports like soccer, boys' basketball, and softball, the new contract ensures all athletic programs will now participate in this revived series. Historically, the Flying Eagles held a strong record against the Tigers, winning all five previous football contests dating back to 1926 and notably never allowing the Tigers to score.
