Taylor Trophy
Football trophy given/kept to/by the winner of the yearly football rivalry between Auburn Senior High School and Kent-Meridian High School dating back to 1908. Dr. Owen Taylor created the trophy presentation in 1929. The rivalry is rumored to be the second oldest football rivalry west of the Mississippi River. The trophy has been won by Auburn High School lately and is currently on display in the schools' Gym Lobby.
Fugate Trophy
Football trophy given kept annually to/by the winner of the football rivalry between Auburn and Auburn Riverside dating to 1995. The trophy has yet to have been won by Auburn Riverside in the trophy's short 12 game list. It is unclear whether Auburn Mountainview will be included in the trophy stakes, and even more unclear is how a three-way trophy would work.
