It's a rivalry that dates back to 1974. It's a rivalry that is traditionally recognized as one of the biggest and best in the state in prep football. In the past, with it came only bragging rights.

That is until this year, when a "Battle of the 'Boro Trophy" will be presented for the first time. The trophy will this year and for years to come be presented to the winner of the annual regular season prep football game between Oakland and Riverdale.

The perpetual trophy will have a large bronze football atop two large bases. On the trophy will appear the winner of each year of the rivalry. The trophy will stay with the school that wins the game each year and be presented annually at the football game.

The award is being created by NewsRadio WGNS and L&K Trophy House in honor of all of those who have participated and will participate in the future in the longest running football rivalry between Murfreesboro high schools.
