Rivalries
Tooele — Battle of the Oquirrhs (name unconfirmed)
Cyprus leads 27–22–1 (50 meetings since 1950 on record). The geography is real and it is a good story: Cyprus is in Magna on the east side of the Oquirrh Mountains, Tooele sits in Tooele Valley on the west side, and both towns were built by the same mining and smelting economy — Kennecott's Bingham Canyon pit and the Garfield and Tooele smelters.
