WAUKESHA, Wis. — A cross-town matchup is celebrating 50 years of rivalry. The Waukesha North and Waukesha South football teams have been facing off since 1975.

TMJ4 News heard from a self-proclaimed South superfan, Michael Dietrich, that this would be a game to see, so we decided to find out why he was so passionate about the game.

Michael is best friends with Gregg Wandsneider. The two grew up in Waukesha and agree on many things - their love of sports, their love of church - but when it comes to their high schools, that's where the friendly division begins.

"I was guided by the North Star over to the North. I'm a Northstar for life," said Wandsneider, a Waukesha North alumnus.

"Blackshirts fan since I was eight years old," said Michael, proudly representing Waukesha South.
