Elgin to renew Manor rivalry

SEASON OPENER

Elgin and Manor will renew a football rivalry that has been dormant for more than a decade when the Wildcats open the 2026 season Friday night at Manor High School.

The last meeting between the programs came in 2015, when the Mustangs came out on top 57-22. With kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28, Elgin head coach Rich Lucero said the history may resonate more with the communities than with the players themselves.
