Union Bank’s Dave Dickson led the press conference, Friday morning, where the “Saline River Shootout” trophy was unveiled, in honor of the long, rich history of the football rivalry between the Monticello Billes and Warren Lumberjacks.
The rivalry has gone back and forth, with both teams sharing victories, but the stakes will be raised even higher next year when both teams are competing in the 4A conference.
The teams have even requested that their yearly contest be scheduled at the end of each season, when conference rankings mean more, as the state playoffs draw near.
The huge trophy will be displayed at Union Banks branches in both towns and at both school, before the September 9 game. It will then go home with the games winning team, until next year’s ”Saline River Shootout.”
