During the time there was both Elkhart Central and Elkhart Memorial, which was the rival? Yes, Elkhart split into two schools beginning with the 1972 season. Elkhart Central kept the colors, mascot, and all school records while Memorial was the "new" school. The Cavemen and Elkhart Central Blue Blazers played 51 games (many of them were insta-classics) until Central and Memorial combined again in 2020. Mishawaka played against the newly merged Elkhart in non-conference games (Mishawaka in NLC and Elkhart in NIC) in 2020 and 2021. So, it was Central that continued the MIshawaka/Elkhart rivalry. Both Mishawaka and Elkhart were founding members of the NIC in 1927. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
