Rivalry
Stroudsburg High School has a long standing rivalry with East Stroudsburg South High School dating back to 1945. Every year on Thanksgiving a rivalry game is played, known locally as the Turkey Day Game, for the honor of keeping "The Little Brown Jug" for the next school year. If the victor of the game is away, the Jug is carried on foot the two miles through both towns back to their home school. As of Thanksgiving 2011, Stroudsburg maintains the lead over East Stroudsburg with a record of 35-26-5. Over the last few years a growing rivalry has begun between Stroudsburg High School and Pleasant Valley High School (Pennsylvania). All three schools compete vigorously for the Mountain Valley Conference championship in many sport competitions.

Famous quotes containing the word rivalry:
“Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
“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)
