THE DOINGS CUP
It was inevitable that when the class of
1968 was split to create the foundation for the new Hinsdale
South High School that a new rivalry would emerge. It took
until 1983 for Central and South to meet on the football
field, when former head coaches Gene Strode (Central) and
Dave Smith (South) concluded that the time was right for the
start of a new tradition. Now in its 26th year, this annual
non-conference game is always a measure of pride for both
schools. The friendly rivalry brings together players and
fans who have grown up together in the communities
surrounding Hinsdale. In many cases the children of former
players from both schools now face off across from each
other in this annual contest. The Hinsdale Doings, the local
newspaper, saw the opportunity to be instrumental in
memorializing each year’s game by donating a traveling
trophy. The series as of 2009 stands at Central with 15 wins
and South with 12 wins.
