Rivalry With Argonaut
Known as the "Big Game" officially but to some Amador County residence it's also called the "Cross-County Clash", the towns of Sutter Creek and Jackson have watched Argonaut High School & Amador High School face off in Football, Basketball, and Baseball for more than 50 years. It's one of California's oldest & most memorable high school rivalries. Students used to participate by defacing the others school property but due to police calls and threats of exploitation they stopped. The town of Sutter Creek supports Amador by having the schools colors displayed in various town shops & colored streamers hung in the town square. The same goes for Jackson but instead of Amador Blue & White they have Argonaut Green & Gold. In football, both teams play for the coveted "Rotary Bell", whoever wins the big game will have possession over the bell for one full calendar year until the two teams meet again.

Famous quotes containing the word rivalry:
“It seems to me that we have to draw the line in sibling rivalry whenever rivalry goes out of bounds into destructive behavior of a physical or verbal kind. The principle needs to be this: Whatever the reasons for your feelings you will have to find civilized solutions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
