One of the Nation's Longest-Running High School Rivalries

The tradition began at the turn of the 20th Century, with Episcopal High School winning the first-ever game against Woodberry Forest. More than a century later, their annual football game thrives, spirited with the rich tradition of competition. Alumni, parents, faculty, and students share in the fun of rooting our team to victory.
