LITTLE ROCK — With just three weeks until the annual rivalry game between Benton and Bryant, the two teams hosted a press conference at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock to promote the annual Salt Bowl.
Last year, Bryant defeated Benton 45-9 in front of an attendance of 20,206 but Benton holds the overall record of 24-13-1 in the series. Bryant, however, has defeated Benton for the past five years.
BENTON — New softball coach Heidi Cox is anxious to get underway. Too bad for her, the season doesn’t start until the Spring.
“I almost wish softball was a fall sport, so we could go ahead and get started,” Cox said Thursday night at the Benton High School Cafeteria during a meet and greet for all the parents, fans and players.
“I am excited about taking over,” Cox said.
