Southern Alberta football fans are going to be treated to a battle of familiar foes on Friday night when the LCI Rams and Raymond Comets face off for a Tier I South Zone Championship.
And while the title on the line is important to both teams, a certain amount of pride is also on the line with the pair of schools boasting one of the most storied rivalries in the area.
“LCI and Raymond — most years, it could go either way,” said Comets coach Brad Baker. “It goes back a long time and it always turns out to be a heated rivalry — and a fun rivalry — that the kids get to participate in.
Rams coach Patrick Leahy agreed that the history of the rivalry is deeply rooted in the community.
“It’s a cultural institution, right? Like, it’s something that people who played in that rivalry talk about to this day. It’s something where kids grow up wanting to play in that rivalry,” Leahy said.
Carson Procee is one of those kids that grew up wanting to play in the matchup.
“The LCI-Raymond rivalry has been around for who knows how long,” Procee said.
“I remember ever since I’ve been playing football, going to the LCI and Raymond games twice every year, and there’s always a good energy in the crowd.”
