Houston High in Germantown and its next-door rival Collierville High will play for something extra this week besides bragging rights and the top seed in the regional playoffs.
The two suburban schools will have a new traveling trophy awarded to the winning team each year.
Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo and Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner visited high school football practices in their communities this week to give players a look at the Mayor’s Trophy that will go home with the winner of Friday night’s game between the two schools.
The new tradition begins this year in the rivalry between the Houston Mustangs (7-2) and Collierville Dragons (9-0). The trophy has each game in the past between the schools inscribed on the base of the award. The future games scores will be added.
