Two of the area’s most storied football programs started the series in 1923. The Panthers and Bombers have met four times in the postseason with the most recent playoff game in 2009.
There has been just one overtime game – double overtime in fact – in 2004.
Elder leads the all-time series 51-42-6, according to both schools.
