Brookfield vs. Marceline
I am very excited to cover one of the oldest high school football rivalries in the nation! KOMU 8's Eric Blumberg assigned me the 72nd Brookfield-Marceline "Bell Game."
A little back story:
In 1937, Kenneth Duker donated a brass bell to Brookfield High School. The bell belonged to a fire engine used by the Brookfield Fire Department. Since then, the Brookfield Bulldogs and Marceline Tigers have fought on the gridiron 70 times, with the winner taking home the coveted bell. The Bulldogs have won the last six games against the Tigers, including a 28-0 shutout last year.
Check out the video from the 2006 Bell Game:
If you've been a part of this classic rivalry, make a post and share your story!
