BLUE VS. RED

By Sierra Concha '13

Tonight, for the first time in years, the Red Cloud vs. Pine Ridge game will be held on the reservation. Only the varsity teams will be playing, starting at 6 PM at Pine Ridge High School. 

The anticipation and excitement is high amongst the players today, and hopefully the intensity of the rivalry won’t cause fans to lose control. The rivalry game hasn’t been allowed on the reservation for a reason, but this is definitely a game you won’t want to miss. Before the games were moved to Rapid City, different incidents occurred that prompted the move. There are many different expectations of what could happen tonight, and the teams are more than ready to play. Please come support the Red Cloud Crusaders positively tonight as they battle their local rival on the court.

The Rapid City Journal has called this the "best rivalry in South Dakota." You can read the article about this rivalry here.
