In the first game of the postponed Fall 2020 season, the Wayne Eagles bested the Pal-Mac Red Raiders 24-7.
The “Border Bowl” and “Battle for the Axe” is a long running tradition between the neighboring towns that began in 2009; an idea conceived by Wayne head coach Dave Marean and then Pal-Mac head coach Steve Sanzo.
Besides bragging rights for the year, the winning team has the year and score added to the handle of the axe on their team’s side and displays the “trophy” in their athletic case until the next game.
Pal-Mac has held the axe for three years; Wayne for nine. Over the last 5 years, the teams expanded the excitement of the competition by selecting a local charity to support. Over $10,000 has been raised for children’s cancer programs and autism camps in this area.
Due to Covid19, this was put on hold for the postponed 2020 season but will be back for Fall 2021 and the next Border Bowl.
