So with the end of the school year here, we wanted to get people's thoughts about the best High School rivalries in the 716.

It is Paws vs Claws, East vs West, North vs South?

Growing up in West Seneca, the biggest rivalry I knew of was the one between West Seneca West and West Seneca East. I played soccer in high school and even if we lost every other game, we always wanted to beat West.

These rivalries stay with us all our lives. I know for me, my son Avry played soccer for Frontier last year and when he played against West Seneca West, I wanted him to crush them.  Heck, my dad moved a couple of years ago from our old home off Clinton Street to a home near West Seneca West and when I visit him, I let out a "Go Trojans" when I pass West Senior High.

Of course, every school here in Western New York has that other school that you just love to beat in sports, academics, and more.

We posed the question on social media and asked people which schools they thought had the biggest rivalry.

We got a ton of responses from Tonawanda and North Tonawanda to Frontier and Hamburg, to Kenmore East and West.
