The Baltimore Ravens and The Baltimore Sun are teaming up for the sixth season of Ravens RISE High School Football Showdown games.
Games chosen as a Showdown feature appearances* by a current or former Ravens player, Ravens Cheerleaders, the Ravens mascot Poe and 
Baltimore’s Marching Ravens as well as giveaways for participating student-athletes and spectators. The athletic department for each Showdown school will also receive a $1,500 donation.
This year, five Showdowns are being chosen by weekly online votes, each featuring in-conference Friday night matchups from a different part of the Baltimore area.

Vote for the Baltimore City Showdown now
This week’s vote is to choose a Showdown between Baltimore City schools on Oct. 8. Voting takes place over two rounds: Vote below for your preferred game through 10 a.m. Sept. 20, then return here at 1 that afternoon for a two-day poll to choose between the top two voter-getters from the first poll.
Notes:
- The original Baltimore City poll was based on an outdated schedule. A corrected poll with all matchups starting with 0 votes was published around 3 p.m. Sept. 15. The Sun regrets the error.
- Each second-round matchup begins with zero votes; no votes carry over from the first round.
