The Sylacauga Aggies and the Talladega Tigers have met 96 times on the
football field. Only a handful of teams have played more games against the
same opponent in the state in the history of high school football.
While Sylacauga leads the
series 52-40-4, that was not always the case. As a matter of fact, following
the 1995 season the Aggies only led 37-35-4 before winning fifteen of the
past twenty contests.
The two teams first met
in 1911 but the score of that game is unknown at this time. The two played
against each other every year since 1920 except the 1935, 1936 and 1937
seasons.
One of the wildest games
in the series was also one of the biggest upsets. Talladega won a single
games that season. It just happened to be against a Sylacauga squad that
finished the season 7-4. The score of the game was 30-29 in favor of the
hometown Tigers. Between 2006-2009, the Tigers won three games in four
years. Two of those wins were against Sylacauga.
In 1941, Talladega
spoiled Sylacauga's undefeated season with a 13-6 victory. The very next
season they accomplished the same feat by knocking off the Aggies 6-0.
