In sports, a rivalry is often defined as a competition between two teams in the same geographical area. Here in Oak Park, we are fortunate to have a rivalry, and a juicy one at that. On one hand, we have Oak Park and River Forest High School, a public school that uses the slogan “Locals Only” to emphasize that it is the neighborhood school.
