Waycross High School's biggest rivalry in its existence was with cross county school Ware County High. Quite possibly the greatest game played between the two, in the 1977 State Championship season's final regular season game #1 Ware County and #2 Waycross faced off at Memorial Stadium. The only score of the game was a second quarter FG by Waycross' Ricky Chaney. Waycross upset the #1 team 3-0 and went on to defeat Ware County yet again, the very next week, 28-7 in the Region Championship game. Waycross won 4 state football titles, Ware County has yet to win one. However, since Waycross High no longer exists and Ware County is the result of the merger, it could be said that Ware County has won 4 state football titles.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or tradition:
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“One might imagine that a movement which is so preoccupied with the fulfillment of human potential would have a measure of respect for those who nourish its source. But politics make strange bedfellows, and liberated women have elected to become part of a long tradition of hostility to mothers.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
