Special tradition in a special lacrosse rivalry

Every rivalry has it’s own pageantry and traditions that make it unique. The rivalry between New Trier High School and Loyola Academy has less to do with disdain and more to do with distance. The schools are less than a mile apart.

Their proximity carries onto the field.

The two high schools have the best lacrosse programs in the state of Illinois and they usual face each other in the state championship every year.
