Editor's note: This column has been edited to include the all-time record between Chaffee and Scott City, and also has the correct number of games and years in the series. This Friday, the Scott City Rams and Chaffee Red Devils will meet on the gridiron for the 58th time in 57 years. Having played in — or at least dressed out for — four of the 57 matchups, the rivalry holds a special place in my heart. Scott City holds a lopsided all-time record against the Red Devils, leading the series 40-17 dating back to 1966 when Illmo-Fornfelt became Illmo-Scott City. The Rams held a 21-game winning streak over the Red Devils which came to an end in 2007, but Scott City has since won 11 of the last 15, including the last four straight.
