7A Bryant and 6A Benton teams each give their all in the State Championships

by

7a Bryant Hornets vs. North Little Rock Wildcats and 6a Benton Panthers Vs. Searcy Lions State championship high school football

FINAL SCORES

Congratulations to the Bryant Hornets for earning the 7A State Championship title two years in a row. Bryant bested the North Little Rock Wildcats with a final score of 21-7.

The Benton Panthers fell short in the beginning of their Championship game against the Searcy Lions. Benton rallied in the second half and narrowed the score to within one point, but they were unable to complete a two-point conversion. In the end, there wasn’t enough time for the Panthers to make a comeback and the Lions won it, 28-27.

We’re proud of all our Saline County teams. See photos and video from both games at www.facebook.com/MySaline/posts.
