Yankees-Red Sox. Steelers-Ravens. UNC-Duke. When these teams get together every sports fan pays attention. These are the games the players on both teams wait for all season. Rivalries at Catonsville High School are no less important to the players. Senior Striker, Danielle “The Korean Krusher” Pulliam has been a girl’s varsity soccer member for four seasons; she says the team’s biggest rival in her career has been the Towson Generals.

“We have always been good, they have always been good,” said the Korean Krusher.

The girl’s soccer team is not the only fall sports team at CHS with an ongoing rivalry with Towson. The Girl’s Volleyball team has been rivals throughout the years with Towson as well. Their rivalry peaked last year with a crushing loss for the Comets in the 5th and final game.

Senior Kate “The Brick Wall” McGinnis said, “It’s always been really close when we played them.”

The Comets volleyball team has never been able to conquer the Towson Generals but the team hopes to beat them in the regional championship this year.

The rivalries that exist in the boys sports are no less intense. The boy’s football team just suffered its first loss of the season to their rival the Franklin Indians.

“I hate Franklin,” commented Superman a.k.a junior linebacker/fullback/kicker Tyler Weedon.

The fact that Mr. Hain, a Catonsville gym teacher, is the offensive coordinator for Franklin doesn’t facilitate kind feelings towards the Indians.

All in all, Catonsville fall sports teams have their fair share of rivalries and to our athletes they are no less important than the rivalries that exist in college or pro sports.
