​Smudge Pot Game Rivalry Week.

I’m thrilled to remind you all of one of Southern California’s most iconic high school football rivalries: The Smudge Pot Game between Bonita and San Dimas High School! Both communities are preparing for the big game on Saturday the 9th at 7:00 played at Citrus College (notice the change of location). Doors open at 5:30 and tickets are available at gofan.co​.

For over 50 years, these two schools have clashed on the gridiron to determine not just who takes home the coveted Smudge Pot trophy but also bragging rights for an entire year. The tension, the drama, the action—it all culminates in a game that’s about more than football; it’s about community, tradition, and a shared history that binds us all.
