Crest-South Point series

The Crest-South Point football series pits two traditional high school powerhouses. They’ll meet for the 26th time this Friday night at Sid Bryson Stadium with the winner claiming the Big South 3A/4A Conference championship.

South Point owns a 15-10 edge in the series with the Red Raiders winning the first eight (1967-74). The teams were members of the old Southwestern 3A Conference until Crest moved up to 4A status for the first time in 1984. The two teams did not meet from 1985 through 2000.
The series was revived in 2001 and the Chargers have a 4-3 edge since that point, though one of South Point's victories was a forfeit in 2005.
