The Frontier Bowl is a big part of life in the Harlandale-McCollum neighborhood on the South Side. This is the one week each year where residents take sides.

The Frontier Bowl is one of the biggest rivalries across the state for high school football, pitting the Harlandale Indians against the McCollum Cowboys.

When the 61st edition of the Frontier Bowl kicks off Friday night, the stakes will be reinvigorated for both the Harlandale Indians and McCollum Cowboys.

More than 30 years after they lined up across the field from each other in the Frontier Bowl, two former rivals talk about the 1989 classic. Joseph Farias was and still is a Harlandale Indian; Gabe Cisneros was and still is a McCollum Cowboy. They were from different sides of the McCollum-Harlandale neighborhood. Fate and football brought them together, along with a chance to sit and talk about those old glory days and the community they grew up in.
