That Woodberry video was scary! My brother went there but I had no idea. Seems a little intense. Landon and StA were traditional rivals from way back but I do think the competition between Landon Prep is more intense because the sports ability level is more compatible and makes for much better games.

I can think of at least one example where a school talks about its big rival in a particular sport but the other school has moved on. In this case, it is because the first school is no longer a formidable competitor in the sport it used to dominate.

St John's vs DeMatha is very intense.

A brawl broke out in the stands last Fall during a football game.

For real. But I think these schools take it too seriously. Shouting at each other like a bunch of hooligans.

While the all don't know one another, many do. And pre and post high school are more likely to be associated bound together by parish, family or neighborhood ties or through their school friends that are connected to others.
