This historic rivalry continues to capture fans’ attention as both schools celebrate their rich traditions on the field.

Servite Football’s 2024 Season: A Rollercoaster Journey

In the heart of Orange County, Servite High School has experienced a football season that can only be described as a thrilling rollercoaster ride. The Friars started strong in the 2024 season, exploding out of the gate with an impressive record of 6-0. Victories against tough competitors like Murrieta Valley, Chaminade, and Notre Dame set high expectations for the season. Fans were buzzing with excitement as the Friars entered into Trinity League play with an uplifting win over JSerra.

However, as the season progressed, the mood took a sudden turn. The second half brought heartache for the Friars, as they stumbled into a five-game losing streak. This downturn included a tough loss in the CIF Southern Section Division 1, where they faced Sierra Canyon in the opening round of the postseason. Despite the unfortunate ending to what began as a promising season, it’s essential to recognize the tremendous strides Coach Chris Reinert has orchestrated since leading the team out of a challenging 1-9 season just a few years back.

Looking Ahead: A Future Full of Promise

Following this exciting opener, football fans will also see Servite host Murrieta Valley, who secured their spot as the runner-up in the Division 2 final. But perhaps the most eagerly awaited clash of the season is the Brotherhood Bowl, where Servite faces off against St. John Bosco High School on October 18, 2024, at SoFi Stadium. This game is a part of the Friday Night Lights Series presented by the Los Angeles Rams and is poised to be a significant event, showcasing two storied programs with deep-rooted traditions.

The Brotherhood Bowl: A Celebration of Excellence

The Brotherhood Bowl represents more than just a game; it’s a celebration of the exceptional bond between the two Catholic, all-boy schools. Adolfo Romero, Executive Director for LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk, voiced enthusiasm for the event, highlighting its potential to present a global stage to both schools. This collaboration aims to spotlight the talent of their student-athletes and promote the unique features that all-boy institutions offer.

Servite will take on the role of the home team for this prestigious matchup. Senior Director Johnathan Franklin with the Rams noted the importance of hosting high school football games at such a premier venue. The schools boast coaches who are not only alumni but also returning players who now lead their teams. This season marks another chapter as players seize the opportunity to create unforgettable memories on the iconic field of SoFi Stadium.

The rivalry between Servite and St. John Bosco is nothing short of legendary. The two schools have met every year since 1999, dating back to their first game in 1965. As both teams entered their bye week undefeated with records of 4-0, it sounds like fans are in for an exhilarating showdown. Each team has faced remarkably tough opponents, with Servite claiming victories from teams across Utah, Texas, and California, while St. John Bosco showcases its strength against competitors from Florida and California.

Cumulatively, these two powerful programs have secured 9 CIF Championships and 6 State Titles. It’s also worth noting that both teams reached the CIF-SS Finals in 2023, with Bosco in Division 1 and Servite in Division 2. The Brotherhood Bowl at SoFi Stadium will be the third high school football game hosted at the venue that fall, a perfect way to showcase young talent on a grand scale.

Fans, keep your eyes peeled for specific details about ticket availability for the Brotherhood Bowl, as excitement is definitely in the air!
