The 1960 season →White House won the regular-season meeting 7–0. Greenbrier answered with a 34–0 win in the Red River Valley championship game at Springfield. Two meetings, opposite shutouts, and a title for the Bobcats.
The title-game turnaround →A 27–6 win in 1976 began another strong run. The Bobcats won all six meetings through 1981, outscoring White House 182–45. The 1981 victory would remain Greenbrier’s last in the series until 2005.
The last win before the streak →Greenbrier scored 42 points and still finished six short. The eight-overtime, 42–48 game remains the highest combined score among the 82 listed meetings. Derrick Lucas rushed for 159 yards, and the game film is available in the detailed story.
The marathon, statistics and film →For 23 consecutive meetings, from 1982 through 2004, White House won. On Senior Night in 2005, the Class of 2006 helped Greenbrier break that run, 20–10, while finishing 6–0 in Region 4-3A and claiming a third straight region title.
Kyle Herndon and Justin Pigg supplied the touchdowns. Later VOTC scripts repeatedly returned to that night and the seniors who finally changed the result.
There was a second chapter that same season: White House won the playoff rematch 14–7.
The breakthrough, reporting and film →Greenbrier’s next three victories came in 2010 (28–21), 2015 (17–6) and 2016 (40–13). Through 2026, the 2015 game remains the Bobcats’ most recent home win; 2016 at White House remains their most recent series win.

Open the game scrapbook →The game-night scripts put the scores back into their setting: seniors taking their last regular-season home snaps, playoff places still unsettled, and a rivalry that mattered even when November was out of reach.
White House arrived 9–0 after going 0–10 in 2016. Greenbrier entered with two consecutive rivalry wins. The preview tied Senior Night to the remaining playoff-seeding possibilities; White House won 21–0.
2017 game →Jim’s preview noted that both teams had been eliminated from playoff contention. Senior Night, Athletic Club recognition and the rivalry itself gave the regular-season finale its meaning. White House won 29–0.

2020 game →The rivalry moved to Thursday at White House. A blocked field-goal return for a touchdown brought Greenbrier within two in an 18–20 loss. The game page connects the following week’s player totals with the contemporary report.
2022 game and statistics →The 2024 notes brought the 1994 overtime film back into the conversation. The 2025 “Blue Guys” script called the matchup the “battle of 76” and again remembered the Streak Stoppers. Those recurring references are part of how VOTC has told this rivalry.
The confirmed game-by-game list contains one meeting in each year from 1947 through 2026, plus second meetings in 1964, 2005 and 2007: 83 games, with Greenbrier 26–57. An alternate historical count includes a disputed additional 1958 row.
The disagreement traces to one duplicated-looking row. The historical database’s Greenbrier 1958 schedule ↗ adds a second 12–6 win over White House on October 10. Greenbrier’s own score sheet lists only the September 26 game, and the same database’s White House 1958 schedule ↗ also lists only that one meeting.
The database’s older team summaries expose the effect: its Greenbrier side says 78 meetings and 27–51 through 2020, while its White House side says 77 meetings and 26–51. With the six verified results from 2021–2026 added, those paths become either 84 games and 27–57 or 83 games and 26–57. Because the school score sheet and White House schedule agree, this page uses 83 games and 26–57 through 2026. The October 10 row remains documented but is not treated as a confirmed game. Read the 1958 comparison.
This expansion draws on Jim’s 2017 and 2019 White House previews; the 2020 “WH” notes; 2021 and 2022 White House notes; the 2023 Week 6 notes and game-night script; the 2024 “WH” notes; the 2025 “Blue Guys” script; and the all-time and school-consolidation score files. The linked game and feature pages provide the detailed reporting, statistics and film.
The 2023 preview recalls the 2022 game as 16–20; the 2022 game history and following-week evidence support 18–20, which remains the listed score. An older all-time file lists 2012 as 13–27, while the school-consolidation record and current game history use 12–27.
For modern results, MaxPreps independently matches the listed 2021 final (6–20), 2023 final (10–30) and 2024 final (7–31). Those newer games were already supported by VOTC and school records; they were used as confirmation rather than to reconstruct the older series.
Claims ranking this rivalry among the oldest in Tennessee are not treated as established here. The listed games demonstrate annual meetings from 1947 through 2026. Drive also contains first- and second-half audio files dated October 28, 2017 in three folders; those files have not yet been listened to or verified for public playback.
