Is that true?

I teach a class on Wednesday nights to adults. Two of the questions I asked were, "Were you in an organization or team as a youth," and "What kind of uniform did you wear?" Of course I talked about band and the lovely uniform we had to wear. One of the men in the class said he was on the American High football team and graduated in 1986. This led to a some friendly banter about which school was better. He said they always beat us in football. I thought we beat them. Which is true?
