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:
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
