A New Rivalry

  VS.

St. Joseph's Indians versus Marian Knights. It is one of the biggest rivalries in the state of Indiana. It's been a traditional catholic school rivalry ever since the schools first opened. My family has always been a St. Joe family, my dad, brothers, myself and even my cousins have all played football for St. Joe. My sisters have been trainers for the football team, cheerleaders, and a cheerleading coach. As you can see, we all have had big parts of this historic rivalry. But this year it is a different story. My youngest sister, Katelyn, decided that she wanted to transfer out of St. Joe and wanted to enroll at Marian. She is even still cheering for Marian's varsity cheerleading squad. This year begins a new family rivalry. My whole family is going to the game to see these two schools battle it out on the gridiron, to see my cousin, Austin, play for the Indians, and to see my sister cheer for the Knights. Who is everyone in my family cheering for? Each of us only knows the answer to that question in our own hearts. It's hard for me to choose because I just played my senior season for St. Joe last year and I would like to cheer for my cousin. I really do want to see St. Joe roll over the Knights with all of the Indian pride that they have because St. Joe is the team that I put my heart and soul into for four years, but then again in another way I will still be very proud of my sister if her team gets the W.
