The tradition is whoever wins the football game gets a stamp on the giant cowhide that has been around for a while. The school that wins also gets to keep the Cowhide until the next Cowhide game.
Cowhide is not only a big event for football players but also for cheerleaders. It’s a very emotional event for senior cheerleaders, as it is the last Cowhide they will experience. It is also the first big event for freshman cheerleaders.
