It just wouldn’t feel like fall in Saskatchewan without it — the Saskatoon Hilltops and Regina Thunder squaring off for the Prairie Football Conference title.

Year after year, these two programs seem destined to meet when the stakes are highest. The Hilltops bring their trademark experience and championship pedigree; the Thunder counter with speed, swagger, and a hunger to own the province’s football crown for the second straight year.

This rivalry has become a fall tradition. Every yard is earned, every play is personal, and every matchup adds another chapter to Prairie football history. Fans from both cities know the script — blue and gold on one sideline, maroon and white on the other, and a trophy waiting for whoever wants it more.

Records don’t matter when these two collide. Pride does. Legacy does. And as always, when the Hilltops and Thunder battle for PFC supremacy, Saskatchewan football is the real winner.
