Solomon, Kan.—
Much should be determined this coming Friday night in Solomon Kansas when it comes to Kansas State High School Activities Association football.The Solomon Gorillas will play host to the Little River Redskins in football this Friday night in Solomon.
Sure, it is just a game, just one in a nine-game schedule for each team.
But there will also be, Wheat State bragging rights and Eight-Man I district 5 bragging rights on the line as well.
It will not be a showdown of undefeated teams, but it will be a battle of good football teams. Little River has one loss on the season, that is the only loss between the two teams.
That loss happened on Sept. 28 when Pretty Prairie defeated the Redskins 26-8.
Little River’s loss gave Solomon an early leg up in the district standings, but the Redskins are still undefeated (3-0) in Wheat State play. Solomon also stands with a 3-0 record in Wheat State action.
But Solomon is undefeated on the season at 6-0 and has yet been forced to play a full game as they have won by the 45-point mercy rule in all six games this season.
Friday night will mark the final Wheat State game for the Gorillas in 2012.
