The North won, 21-13, last year, and has won 5 of the 7 years.  Note: the first 5 years the game was between the AML (north) and KSAC (south) leagues.  But beginning in 2021 the old AML and KSAC leagues were abandoned for the new District 9 League.

A highlight of the game is the presentation of $1,000 scholarships to players from Game Sponsors. The scholarships are awarded prior to kickoff. Since inception, $101,000 in scholarships has been awarded.
