Pre-sale of tickets for what is arguably the biggest regular-season football game of the year—Plant vs. Robinson—begins Wednesday morning at Robinson, Knights head coach Mike DePue announced Sunday.

“It’s going to be a playoff-type atmosphere,’’ said DePue, who is retiring at the conclusion of the season. ‘‘Both teams have already won their districts and have bigger things ahead of them, but this is a neighborhood rivalry with bragging rights on the line.’‘

Plant (8-1) and Robinson (9-0) are ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the Tampa Tribune’s latest top 10 poll of county teams. Tickets go on sale Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. -12:45 p.m. at Robinson’s cafeteria. Tickets are $5 each and there are no pre-set limits on the number of tickets you can purchase.

If tickets still remain from Wednesday’s sale, there will also be a session for purchases Thursday and Friday, again in the cafeteria during the same time as Wednesday. The game is slated for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff Friday at Jack Peters Field.
