For the 90th time, the two schools separated by Big Sandy Creek will renew their rivalry Friday night.
At stake for Bridgeport is a chance to complete an undefeated run through District 5-3A and keep building momentum heading to the playoffs. For Decatur, a win coupled with a Vernon victory over Iowa Park will send it to the postseason. For both teams, something even more valuable is on the line – bragging rights.
