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 boarding schools since 1901. This year the game will be broadcast live by WFSPN, Woodberry's student broadcasting network. Tune in at www.wfspn.org to hear the audio broadcast.

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.
