The Annual Beaver/ Graham Game
One of the biggest games of the year is the annual Graham / Beaver game. Around 12,000 people crowd the stadium from all over to watch the game. The Beavers have a winning record over the G-Men which is 62-23-2. Most of the victories for Bluefield occurred when Bluefield was AAA and Graham was AA. The series is much closer in terms of wins and losses in the past several years. The rivalry is so big that highlights of the game have been shown on "Scholastic Sports America" which used to air on ESPN. In previous years, Bluefield fans would sit exclusively on the home side of the stadium. However, both teams call the stadium home, so recently the schools have alternated.
