Since 1965, the football rivalry between Weber High School and Roy High School has been a highlight in Northern Utah. Known as "The Shield Game," this annual event showcases the fierce competition and deep-rooted traditions of both schools.

 

The tradition of the Shield Game continues to be a highlight of the high school football season, drawing large crowds and support from both communities. Fans packed the stadium, creating an electric atmosphere that underscores the significance of this rivalry.

 

Roy High pulled off a dramatic 48-34 victory over Weber in the highest-scoring game in the rivalry's history. Senior Robert Young was the standout, contributing five touchdowns, including a 74-yard run that sealed the win. Roy retained "The Shield," advancing their all-time series lead to 34-25.

 

Weber High made several strong pushes, keeping the game competitive until the final quarter. Their offense, led by key players, managed to keep pace with Roy through most of the game. However, Roy's defense stepped up in crucial moments, making important stops that kept Weber from closing the gap. Weber’s resilience was evident, but they were ultimately unable to overcome Roy’s high-powered offense.
