Central Florida has been home to some great rivalries, some that are well over 50 years old and still going strong.
Corey Davis takes a look at some of the top rivalries that make watching high school football in Central Florida that much better.
Mainland/Seabreeze
Plenty of history and tradition surrounds the game. The schools once played as one team, the Daytona High Buccaneers (1920’s-1940).
The winner takes home the Spike Welshinger trophy, named after Mainland’s coach who led the team to a 10-0 perfect season in 1949.
Mainland has won three in a row in the series and five of the last six.
