Canfield, Poland sports rivalry to continue
The Battle of 224 is taking a break in football, but the high school sports rivalry between Poland and Canfield isn't dead.
Canfield released a memorandum of understanding between the two schools Friday morning outlining the future of the rivalry.
In varsity football, the Bulldogs and Cardinals will take 2019 off before playing in Week 1 of 2020 and in Week 3 of 2021. Going forward indefinitely, they will play in Week 3 unless Week 10 is open for both schools.
All other varsity sports will continue to play eachother in 2019.
The 75-year football rivalry was shaken up by Poland and several schools leaving the All-American Conference to form the Northeast 8. Canfield, an AAC member, wasn't invited to the new league.
