For 57 years Boone and Edgewater has played for one thing – The Barrel – the trophy that has become the symbol of this historic rivalry. The game featured two teams highly regarded in the area as the Braves (7-3) defeated the Eagles (7-3) at home, 21-14.

After suffering a tough loss to No. 1-ranked Dr. Phillips at home last week, the Boone Braves (3-3) didn’t weep for long. On Thursday, the Braves were hosting their non-district Homecoming Game and got back to their winning ways with a 37-7 win over visiting University (2-5).
