There's nothing like a football rivalry and the two Southwest Roanoke County football rivals had it out last Friday night -- and we were there. (So, too, were Zac Martin, Mike Trevillian, Nick Ferguson and Logan Brown.) In this week's print edition of SWoCo, you'll find photos from the game not only on the cover and a two-page spread inside, but we advise readers to go online to see even more.
