Dead Rivalry

Should we hold a funeral for the Ark City Winfield sports rivalry with Winfield going to 4A?

No 5A regional game? No Arkalalah game? The world has spun out of orbit!

How much will this actually diminish the rivarly, or has it been diminishing in recent years anyway? And will this lead to more county-cooperation in the long term if residents of both towns don't feel like they compete with the other?

FUNERAL: the ceremony of burying the dead; obsequies

I think, in light of recent events, that it is of extremely poor taste to equate such a solemn occurence with that of a simple game. I agree that "the world has spun out of orbit!", and your choice of words helps drive this point home!!
