Since Pine Creek High School was established, the Rams have had a fierce rivalry with the Eagles. This applies to all sports as they are in the same conference, but most notably basketball, football, and volleyball. The rivalry peaked on February 22, 2013, when during a conference basketball game there were numerous technical fouls (including one on the Rampart fan section). The Pine Creeks coach was ejected and after Pine Creek won the game, there was a minor brawl between the two student sections after the game.
