FOOTBALL RE-DO?

TWO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAMS ARE GOING TO REPLAY A GAME THAT ENDED IN A TIE . . . IN 1993:

The football rivalry between the Red Rovers of Easton Area High School in Easton, Pennsylvania, and the Stateliners of Phillipsburg High School in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, is one of the oldest in the nation . . . dating back to 1905.

In case you're wondering, Easton is on Pennsylvania's eastern border . . . and Phillipsburg is on New Jersey's western border. The only thing separating the two towns is the Delaware River. Overall, Easton leads the series 57-40-5.
But now, players from both schools are preparing to REPLAY a game that ended in a TIE . . . back in 1993. That's right. 1993.
So WHY are they doing it? Well, the official reason is because Gatorade approached the two schools . . . and asked them to be part of a documentary showcasing their football rivalry. But let's be honest . . . the real reason they're replaying the game is probably so a bunch of 30-something duffers can relive their past glory one last time. The game is scheduled to take place on April 26th at Lafayette College in Easton. (Yahoo Sports)
