SOLOMON, Kan.—
The Wheat State League football teams received good tidings and bad tiding this past week around the league as the entire league teams, who play football, are now into district action.Currently the Wheat State has three different teams that are undefeated in district play while Wakefield has just one district loss, but so do all of the other teams in the Bomber’s district.
Solomon and Little River still share the Wheat State League football lead with identical 3-0 WSL records, but the Redskins were the receivers of the bad tidings this past week when they suffered their lone loss thus far this season as they fell 26-8 to Pretty Prairie.
