The trophy
An elaborate shield carrying the seals of both schools. Roy's head coach has called it one of the best-looking trophies in the state. The year it was introduced is not documented.
The games that made it
August 30, 2024 produced the highest-scoring game in series history, Roy 48-34 over an unbeaten Weber, with Roy's Robert Young scoring five touchdowns including a 74-yard run to put it away. In 2020 Weber won on a blocked field goal and a goal-line stand to take a share of the Region 1 title. Weber took the 2026 meeting 53-35 behind six touchdowns from quarterback Carter Payne. A live subplot: Weber head coach Mo Cannon is a former Roy assistant, and is 2-1 in the game since taking the Weber job in 2024.
Traditions
Large crowds and, in the district's own words, an electric atmosphere. Little else is documented.
