GUESS WHAT, SANTA FE HIGH? On Sept. 3, our varsity football team continued their undefeated winning streak in the 2021 season by defeating St.Michael’s High School in the ongoing popular rivalry game. Why this is such a big deal for Demon Football is that for the past 13 years, St. Mike’s has beaten SFHS. But this year, the Demons prevailed: 19 – 7 was the final score, resulting in a Demon victory. Now with coronavirus nearly gone, the stadium was packed, filled with SFHS students, former students, and families cheering and going wild as they roared to the sound of a rivalry win.

One would figure that St. Mike’s and Santa Fe High would be rival high schools since Santa Fe High was established in 1899 (by Santa Fe Public Schools) and St. Michael’s was established in 1859 (by the Christian Brothers). But everyone’s favorite way to have this play out is on the football field, which began in 1924.
