Lower Merion-Radnor football rivalry rich in history

The 119th edition of the Lower Merion-Radnor High School rivalry, which is believed by many to be the oldest continuous public high school rivalry in the United States, will kick off Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. at Prevost Field.
During the past century, Lower Merion vs. Radnor has featured some pretty impressive names.
Ted Dean, who scored the winning touchdown for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1960 NFL championship game, has played in it. So has Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Emlen Tunnell.
Lower Merion has a 56-51-11 historical advantage in this contest. One of the reasons is the coaching of the legendary Fritz Brennan, whose Aces beat the Red Raiders every year from 1945 to 1956.
In fact, up until the last two decades, Lower Merion held the dominant upper hand in this rivalry. When the Aces won the 100th contest, a 27-20 victory in front of 6,000 fans at Arnold Field, Lower Merion held a 53-36-11 advantage.
