The two have been called rivals in reporting by Rapoport and others, and while North Shore&#8217;s dominance has made it a one-sided rivalry, there was certainly more competition when Hurts was at the helm. In 2014, he threw for three touchdowns in a 49-48 win, Channelview&#8217;s only victory against the team since at least 2004, as far back as MaxPreps&#8217; records go.<\/p>\n<p>Hurts put the rivalry aside to honor a high school player whose time was cut short.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You cannot measure the impact he had on and off the field in our program.
