PORT JERVIS—Although it’s only a game, the Erie Bell football game between Middletown and Port Jervis is one of the state’s great rivalries and goes back to 1897. The former railroad towns promise an exciting match-up on Oct. 10 in Port Jervis.

“I don’t think anything rivals it,” says Middie head football coach Billy Donahue. “It’s something the school still gets excited about.”

Formidable Competitor

The matchup features Class A Port Jervis with a 4-1 record taking on Class AA Middletown with a 3-2 record.

It's a big game for this town.
