GONZAGA FOOTBALL GAME HISTORY While the two schools both played football as early as 1889, the football rivalry did not take root until 1928. Games were played prior to that year, but not regularly. The Modern Era began on October 26, 1928, when the teams met at Georgetown University before a crowd of 2,500. Gonzaga came away a winner, 47-0. According to newspaper accounts, “relations were strained by four quarters of rough play” in their last meeting in 1921, but by 1928 the teams were “on speaking terms again.” The game would not only “mark the resumption of gridiron relations,” but would also lay the groundwork for the establishment of a prep school athletic conference later that same year. Both schools—along with Georgetown Prep and once formidable, but now long forgotten, athletic powers Devitt Prep and Emerson Institute—were founding members of a league that through many iterations is today’s WCAC. From their commitment to league play, shared faith and close proximity to one another, a rivalry was born. Between 1928 and 1978, a period of 51 years, the teams met each fall. Fifty-three times without interruption, including two playoff games. In 1979 and 1980, Gonzaga stepped away from league play and this game. Gonzaga needed to regroup. After a two-year absence, the teams met again in 1981. Gonzaga achieved victory that year. And in the forty-five meetings including playoffs since holds a 28-17 advantage. However, over the last ten games, St. John’s has won six including the 2017 WCAC Championship game. The 99th meeting took place at the St. James Academy in Springfield, VA on April 15, 2021 with Gonzaga defeating St. John’s 13-9 to complete an undefeated 5-0 Spring Season during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the teams play the 100th meeting tonight on Buchanan Field, the record stands at 48-46-5 in Gonzaga’s favor.
