These interstate rivalries, though non-conference, often forge a special kind of intensity, as both teams play not just for a win, but for state pride.
“There’s nothing quite like the first game,” said a source close to the Eagles program. “The energy is electric, the stands are packed, and you get to see all the hard work from the summer finally put into action. Facing a quality team like Malad right out of the gate will show us exactly where we’re at and what we need to work on.”
