Bluefield–Graham game
If you're a fan of high school football, this annual rivalry is not to be missed. The Bluefield Beavers and Graham G-Men, respectively representing the public high schools of the West Virginia and Virginia Bluefields, first played in 1911 and have played every year since 1928. While the schools have a strong rivalry in all sports that they sponsor, the football version is by far the most passionate. Mitchell Stadium, located in the West Virginia city's park (though with the state line passing through the parking lot), is the home field for both teams, and the rivalry game sells out every year.
