JOIN US FOR THE GAME: THE SOUTH'S OLDEST CONTINUOUS HIGH SCHOOL RIVALRY
The annual football game between Woodberry Forest School and Episcopal High School is the South’s oldest continuous high school football rivalry—a fierce but friendly struggle that has consumed students, players and alums of the two prep schools since 1901. This year the game will be broadcast live by WFSPN, Woodberry's student broadcasting network. Tune in at www.wfspn.org.

On the second Saturday in November of each year, Woodberry plays its rival, Episcopal High School. This year will be the 119th meeting between the two schools. Listed below is what is happening at Woodberry before we all trek to Episcopal High School this year for The Game.

Following the Bonfire Bash at approximately 10:00 p.m., the Woodberry community, along with visiting guests, will gather at the bonfire. The bonfire is the ultimate Woodberry pep rally and a tradition the boys love. Expect to be amazed by the energy — and the heat! Should you choose to attend, you will stand in the field with other guests and watch the action. The dress code is “festive casual” — wear your orange and black! Be prepared for cool or wet weather; rain boots are often a good idea as our fields can be muddy.
