Rivalry trophies

[crimsonace1]

Saw this on Facebook, someone looking for a list of traveling/rivalry trophies. 

A few I know of

Boundary Rail: New Palestine vs. Mt. Vernon. Piece of interurban track from the U.S. 40 corridor (roughly the boundary between the school districts). It owes its origin to the GID. It's typically painted in the winning team's school colors. 

War on 44: A trophy game between Rushville and Connersville.

Plow Share & Anvil: Eastern Hancock vs. Knightstown. It's a replica, because a real plow share and anvil would be insanely heavy. 

Putnam County Bucket: It's a football *and* boys basketball challenge trophy between the four Putnam County schools - Cloverdale, Greencastle, North Putnam, South Putnam - held by the winner until beaten.

NorthWood and Jimtown play for the Doc Abel traveling trophy.  It is an actual medical bag that Doc Abel used as he was the team doctor for both teams. The winning team's name / year are placed on the bag.  Jimtown has never won the "bag" and it has been with NorthWood since 2017.

Cathedral vs. Sacred Heart>Chartrand>Roncalli

The games against Roncalli, although not played every year, date back to 1969

The Knights of Columbus Bell

Sure hope Center Grove and Carmel get back to their rivalry game and play for the Copper Kettle.  Time for some adults to grow up and let the kids play!!

The CIC has the milk can as a traveling trophy.  When a school beats the school that has the milk can they paint it however they want.  Sometimes a school only has it for a week and sometimes they have it for the remainder of the season and all of the following season.

Yep, that's it!

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned the Buehler's Buy-Low Grocery - East trophy given to the winner of the annual Wk. 9 match-up between Evansville Bosse and Evansville Harrison.  It ranks right up there with Floyd of Rosedale and the Old Oaken Bucket if you ask me..

Bacon Bowl- Caroll vs Delphi- Trophy is huge skillet

Winamac and West Central play for the Tomahawk in football / basketball.

That's pretty cool! As a Cathedral alum, I don't remember this. I wonder why the games with Sacred Heart after 1956 are not listed? We played them every year through the time that Sacred Heart had the name change to Kennedy High School, and then merged with Chartrand to form today's Roncalli.  

Westfield and Noblesville play annually for the Midland Rail trophy. The old Midland RR ran between Westfield and Noblesville. Today it is a paved pedestrian trail.

Good question. It's been a long time since I have seen the bell in person. The only thought I have is maybe those years are on another part of the bell. Maybe @FastpacedO can verify?
