Washington St. Shelby, NC 704-487-4521 www.arnold'sjewelry.com "The Diamond Leader" Winner of Inaugural Rivalry Game Receives Hog Trophy and a Barbecue Feast G a r d n e r - W e b b U n i - versity and C a m p b e l l University an- nounced today that the two schools' foot- ball programs will compete annually for the North Carolina East/West BBQ Trophy, beginning this season. The Runnin' Bulldogs and Fighting Camels renew their intra-conference rivalry on Saturday, Oct. 9, in Boiling Springs. Kickoff for the inau- gural rivalry game is set for 6 p.m. in Ernest W. Spangler Stadium. The winner of the game each year will hoist and host the well-built, hefty trophy— topped with a decorative hog and adorned with a placard to engrave each year's winning team and score. On hand to present the trophy will be North Carolina BBQ expert, Bob Gar- ner. Garner has written three books on North Carolina's fa- vorite food and has appeared on Food Network, ABC's "Good Morning America," the Travel Channel's "Road Trip," and he produces specials for PBS North Carolina. Most importantly, the losing team will be tasked with sup- plying a barbecue feast from its region—eastern-style for the Camels, western or Lex- ington-style for the Bulldogs— to the winning side. "A good, spirited cross-state rivalry in football can add tons of energy to the college game," explained Gardner-Webb President Dr. William Downs. "I grew up in ACC country, so I know full well how fans look forward to Rivalry Week each year. I also love good BBQ, and North Carolina is home to some seriously heated com- petition between western-style and eastern-style. I'm grateful to Campbell's President, Dr. Creed, for agreeing to com- bine two things we all love— sports and eating—into this annual pigskin battle. And just to get the rivalry off on the right foot, I apologize in advance to Camel Nation for GWU's vic- tory on October 9." Gardner-Webb and Camp- bell first met on the football field as junior colleges on Nov. 16, 1929. The Fighting Cam- els took a 21-6 win that day in Buies Creek. The programs have played 12 times total, with Campbell holding a 5-4-3 edge in the series. The teams did not meet from 1950 until 2018, when Gardner-Webb came away with a 35-7 win in Buies Creek. Campbell won the most recent meeting in triple overtime, sur- viving for a 49-47 win in Boiling Springs. The two campuses are separated by 165.5 miles as the crow flies – and 218 miles by car. "A healthy, good-natured athletics rivalry between schools like Campbell and Gardner-Webb is not only fun for our fans, it also treats the spirit of our institutions in good and positive ways," said Campbell President Dr. J. Bradley Creed. "Campbell is grateful to compete with such a talented group of programs in the Big South Conference and our rivalry with Gardner- Webb on the gridiron is clearly going to reach a new level of intensity this fall. There's much more on the line than just a vic- tory on the football field; North Carolina BBQ is up for grabs! The stakes are high! I am grateful to President Downs at Gardner-Webb for his willing- ness to be a good sport and friend to me and the Camp- bell family. When the Camels come to Boiling Springs, fear the hump!" Both schools' athletics programs compete as full members of the Big South Conference. Season tickets, season parking passes, along with single-game tickets and park- ing for Gardner-Webb football are available online at GWUS- ports.com or by calling (704) 406-4340 during regular busi- ness hours.
