100 years of a legendary football rivalry.
It’s a rare thing to hit such a milestone. And even more rare is the opportunity to celebrate the moment when it arrives.
The episode will be a bit different from our typical programming, but we're excited to to share this historic narrative.
Barr and Walnut Middle Schools have been meeting annually for a “Crosstown Clash” football game for 100 years straight. And on October 16th, 2025, we'll be celebrating the milestone at the annual game.
To help us commemorate the rich history of Bulldogs vs Wildcats on the gridiron, we’ve enlisted the talents of “The Voice of the Islanders” himself, Brian Gallagher. He narrates the historical account on this episode tracing through the storied Grand Island rivalry.
Peppered throughout the narrative will be a couple familiar voices, Mr. Brian Kort, and Mr. Rod Foley, sharing their insights about the famed Barr vs Walnut match-up.
We’re grateful to have such a rich history here at GIPS.
Catch the storied 100-year history of the Barr vs Walnut 'Crosstown Clash' Football Game.
