'''The Great Rivalry''' is a [[sports rivalry|rivalry]] between the [[William Horlick High School]] and the [[Washington Park High School]] athletic teams. The rivalry originated between the schools' [[American football|football]] teams, but has since spilled over into other sports. It originated in 1928, when the two schools were opened.<ref name="jspark75">

==History==
[[Image:Park Horlick Football Poster.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Promotional poster for a Park vs. Horlick football game]]
Previous to 1928, there had only been one high school in [[Racine, Wisconsin|Racine]], [[Wisconsin]]: Racine High School. This all changed when Horlick and Park opened to students, at which time previous classmates where forced to split up between the schools. The initial tension caused by the split, combined with the schools' geographic proximity to each other, formed the basis of the rivalry. The teams have played once every year since the schools opened, with the exception of the years 1943 and 2008 when the teams played twice. <ref name="jtTwoTimes">
