Our football game with Calipatria High School will take place November 12th, Not the 13th as originally scheduled.
Both schools have agreed to change this game to a Thursday night matchup due to the Central-Brawley Bell Game scheduled for Friday. The Bell Game, as you are aware, is the biggest sporting event to take place in the valley (besides every Holtville sporting event), and worries about traffic and the ability for our fans to get to Calipatria that night have caused us to reschedule the game.
However, it is going to be a BIG GAME for us. A few decades ago, Calipatria was Holtville's biggest rivalry in football. Over the years, Calipatria has not always had an 11-man football team and the rivalry for Holtville shifted over to the Imperial Tigers. With the Tigers move to the large school division, and Calipatria now rededicated to 11-man football, they again become our natural friendly-rivals.
Stay-tuned for more information on this game, which will revive the tradition of the "Axe Game".
