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:
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

“Because it’s not only that a child is inseparable from the family in which he lives, but that the lives of families are determined by the community in which they live and the cultural tradition from which they come.”
