On September 12th the Solomon Middle School Football Team played Bennington. The score was Solomon 34 and Bennington 22. When we talked to Coach Krajicek, he said, “Bennington was a very physical team and evenly matched with us on both sides of the ball. It took all eight players doing their job with grit in order to get it done. Great job to football, cross country, and volleyball for playing hard and the cheerleaders for cheering us on.” Their next game is September 19th at 6:00 P.M. at home vs. Centre.
