Check Out the List of the Biggest Football Rivalries in Shreveport Area

As we move into fall, it's the best time of year for high school football. Friday night lights are a pretty big deal all across Louisiana. Many local teams are now moving into the part of the season where they are taking on district foes.

Some of the local rivalries are legendary in northwest Louisiana. In some communities the whole town comes out for the games. But for those big rivalry games, it's a whole week of excitement and trash talking. You will probably also hear about lots of pranks done by students at both schools in some of these rivalry games. Most of it is good fun, but I do know some of these pranks have crossed the line in the past. I hope that doesn't happen this year.

What Are Some of the Biggest Rivalries in Northwest Louisiana

Things get really electric when two teams from the same part of town square off. In Shreveport, the classic Byrd versus Captain Shreve game is always a huge deal. Just outside the metro, there is another huge battle for bragging rights when Haynesville meets Homer. This one is the state’s oldest gridiron feud. That big game has the whole area talking.

Those two big games are coming up over the next few weeks, but the trash talking has already started.
