RECAP MONDAY ON SPORTSTALK

What determines a rivalry? Is it the intensity? Is it the fierce battles between one another? What about the traditions that both teams bring to the table? It very well could be. In this case, however two factors that determine this great rivalry between teams from Henderson and teams from Oxford: Proximity and Longevity. In addition to both teams being in counties that border each other, Vance County and J.F Webb are two high schools that reside in the same conference that just so happen to be about 20 minutes from each other. In terms of longevity, you can call it a tradition for Vance County and J.F. Webb to play each other every year. High schools from Henderson and Oxford have played each other nearly consistently at least since 1923. Regardless of how rivalries are formed, one thing is for sure. No matter what conference these two teams are in, no matter the record or classification of each school, Vance County and J.F. Webb always play each other. Always have. Always will.

Two different high schools. Two different ball clubs. Both going in different directions. Vance County is sitting at 7-1 on the year and is in second place in the Northern Lakes Conference. Head Coach Aaron Elliott said at the beginning of the year that, “The goals have changed for Vance County. Our goal is to not just make the playoffs, but to make deep runs in the playoffs.” J.F. Webb on the other hand, is 1-8 on the year and is in second to last place in the conference. Keionte Gainey, Head Coach of J.F. Webb, who assumed the Athletic Director duties as well this year, is keeping high hopes up for the program. Despite J.F. Webb’s record, Coach Gainey calls this year’s team, “A very special group”, that consists of 17 Seniors that hold a special place in Gainey’s heart.

When you look at the matchup between Vance County and J.F. Webb, what are the keys to the game? For Vance County, consistency is key, according the Head Coach Aaron Elliott. “We gotta be consistent on offense, defense, and be better if special teams.” For J.F. Webb, Coach Gainey outlines what needs to happen in order for the Warriors to win on Friday, “We’ve got to play with grit and heart, I believe that we have the talent to beat Vance County. We are gonna give it our best shot. We wanna beat them before the conference changes next year.”

Whether it’s Henderson High, Henderson Institute, Vance Senior High, Northern and Southern Vance, or Vance County High, and whether it’s Oxford High, Oxford Orphanage, Mary Potter, or J.F. Webb, this matchup on Friday will be one for the ages.

Vance County will host J.F. Webb on Military Appreciation Night for Week 11 of the 2024 season on Friday, November 1st and you can hear all the action on WIZS 1450AM, 100.1FM, and online at wizs.com with pregame starting at 6:50 p.m. and kickoff thereafter at 7:00 p.m.
