City (2-7) vs. Poly (2-7)

130th meeting Friday, 6 p.m. At Morgan State Coaches: Michael Hamilton, City; Marquise O’Neal, Poly About the rivalry: The oldest high school football rivalry in Baltimore is believed to be the second-longest continuous public school rivalry in the nation. City won its sixth straight game with last year’s 22-18 victory. The Knights can tie the series with a win this year. Poly leads 62-61-6. Players to watch: City senior dual-threat quarterback Michael Bond has scored game-winning touchdowns in the past two rivalry games, which were decided by a total of six points. He might also see time at receiver. Engineers dual-threat quarterback Mervyn Thomas-Crawford will be a key to leading a young Poly team. About the game: For one of the rare times in recent history, both City and Poly have been eliminated from playoff contention, but winning the season finale for bragging rights is just as important in this rivalry. The game will be played at Morgan State this year, because the Ravens have a game Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium and the grass field could not recover in time.
