The golden announcement is out – Salt Bowl 2024, the largest high school football game in the State of Arkansas, will be played on a FRIDAY night. That’s a switch from the last couple of years of having it on Saturdays.
Why is it golden? Because 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of this huge rivalry game between the Benton Panthers and Bryant Hornets.
Make plans to come cheer your team on August 30th… come for the tailgate, game, halftime, contests and more – along with a high percentage of Saline County residents.

The game will start at 7:30 p.m. It will all happen at Simmons Bank Field at War Memorial Stadium on the beginning of our Labor Day weekend.
