🔥 Cumberland County JV football is back!

🏈🔥 IT'S BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE NIGHT! 🔥🏈

🚨 GRAY'S CREEK BEARS vs. SOUTH VIEW TIGERS 🚨

Tonight, the rivalry comes home to Gray's Creek High School in Hope Mills as the Bears and Tigers meet once again in one of Cumberland County's most anticipated football rivalries!

🏆 THE BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE 🏆

📅 Friday, September 4, 2026
⏰ 7:30 PM Kickoff
📍 Gray's Creek High School — Hope Mills, NC

📸 I'll be on the sidelines tonight covering the action and capturing the moments of this rivalry!

🏆 A LITTLE BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE HISTORY

This rivalry has a pretty unique story.

When Gray's Creek High School opened in 2003, it was created largely from the existing South View attendance area. The two schools are neighbors, and over the years that shared community history helped turn their football matchup into a genuine rivalry.

The teams began meeting in football in 2007.

Then in 2010, South View Athletic Director David Culbreth took the rivalry to another level by creating the Battle of the Bridge competition. A special trophy was commissioned featuring the bridge over Business I-95, the roadway that connects the two communities.

And they've been playing for that trophy ever since. 🏆🌉

The Bears finally broke through in 2011, earning their first-ever football victory over South View, 38–16.

Gray's Creek also captured the trophy in 2015, defeating the Tigers 30–19.

South View has controlled the more recent history, however, winning the last five meetings — including 57–0 in 2024 and 53–17 in 2025.

That makes tonight's game another chapter in a rivalry that is about much more than just a football game.

It's community. It's pride. It's bragging rights.

🏈📸 JV FOOTBALL UNDER THE LIGHTS! 📸🏈

Its a great game so far, both offenses are moving the ball and scoring. No field goals here, both teams have elected to go for the two point conversion after every score in the first half.

At the half, South View was in the lead 24-22.🐻🐯🔥

The game was originally scheduled for Friday but was moved due to weather, bringing these two teams together on Saturday for some daytime football! 🌤️🏈

The Western Harnett Eagles came away with a 41–6 victory over the Douglas Byrd Eagles.
