Oswego vs Oswego East. 8k plus at that one.
2017 LWE at LWC...Edgy??
Actually, prior to this past fall, the two schools had not met in '15 and '16. The 2 seasons before that, they met in Week 2 as non-conference opponents. Before that, they were actually in the same division of the SWSC, meeting regularly. The series edge would clearly be skewed in East's favor. I would have to wonder how many times LWC ever beat LWE? Maybe shortly after the latter opened early in the millennium, the former took a couple?It's getting there hadn't been real ultra competitive up until the last year or two....
I was speaking more of the crowd but yes. We have them again this year at home.2017 LWE at LWC...Edgy??

According to the IHSA website, LWC - 40, LWE - 7 in Week 5 of 2001 season, probably East's first varsity season, maybe without a senior class, too?LWE has never lost to LWC.
I stand corrected. Thanks.According to the IHSA website, LWC - 40, LWE - 7 in Week 5 of 2001 season, probably East's first varsity season, maybe without a senior class, too?LWE has never lost to LWC.

What are the 10 biggest rival games with giant crowds
Wilmington - Coal City. Good night for theft in both towns, as the entire communities are at the ballgame...
Last few years, Simeon vs Phillips has been the biggest in the public league.
Be interesting to see the crowds the next couple years for Morris vs Coal City.Some have wanted to see this matchup for years.I'll second that. Not a massive crowd that the bigger schools will draw but I'd estimate anywhere between 1-3 thousand there depending on the week that it falls and the success of the teams for the year. In '04 when they were both undefeated and met in week 9 there was a huge turnout. Probably close to 5k.

Fish:
A complete list must include the annual SR-MC game. Regardless of which venue the game takes place, it routinely attracts overflow crowds.
My first experience with a SR-MC game was in 1989 at Gately. A crowd virtually spilling into the street, I have been told it was the only time the gate was closed and spectators were turned away due to excess fans. One of the most thrilling games I have ever seen, the two teams nearly ground one another into the dust, before Rita escaped with a 14-7 win.
The game's impact on me was immeasurable: Truth stripped bare, I do not believe I would have developed an affection for the CCL if it had not been for this game. Since 1989, only rare circumstances have prevented me from making this titanic battle.
