Tahoma Senior High School - Rivalries

Rivalries

Tahoma's main rivals include Kent-Meridian, Kentridge, Kentlake, Kentwood, Auburn Riverside and Gig Harbor. One of Tahoma's oldest rivals is Enumclaw, but the rivalry has lost some of its intensity since Enumclaw has been moved down to the SPSL Division 3A.

Tahoma's fiercest rivalry is perhaps that with Kentwood High School, owing partly to the mere three-mile separation between the schools. Tensions increased further when Kentwood desecrated the street in front of Tahoma by spray painting the letters "K-DUB" before a football game held on October 14, 2005. The two schools have been a part of some memorable football games in the past couple of years, with Tahoma winning four years in a row, ending with KW winning a last minute thriller in 2009, 21-14. Kentwood won the last meeting 49-3, the largest margin in over 10 years.
