The Southern Bancorp Battle of the Ravine pits rival teams, Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist, against one another in what promises to be an epic battle for bragging rights.  The rivalry is unique in that both schools are powerhouses in the Great American Conference (GAC) and of the past 86 rival matchups, the game has been decided by a touchdown or less 39 times.  This year’s matchup is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games yet, as undefeated HSU fights to keep OBU from breaking the winning streak in the no-holds-barred battle.
