It all starts Friday, Nov. 15 with the Battle of the Ravine Rally beginning at 5 p.m. with college fun galore including carnival rides, games, tailgating and ending with a live concert featuring regional favorite Backroad Anthem!

The Southern Bancorp Battle of the Ravine pits ultimate rival teams, Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist, against each other in what promises to be an epic battle for bragging rights.
