Since 1969, the Fighting Irish of Akron have been battling the Warriors of Cuyahoga Falls. Very often this game is underrated as a rivalry game by the general public because of the importance stressed on the STVM-Hoban game. Even though the Hoban game is played on a larger stage, the importance of the Walsh game runs just as high in the eyes of the Fighting Irish. With only 10 miles in between one another, these schools battle each year on the respective home team's field - playing for the right to possess "The Bell" for that given year. Of the seven state championship football teams in Summit County, STVM and Walsh account for five of them. Therefore, this matchup between two prominent football programs in the state of Ohio is always sure to be an exciting one.
