Salt Bowl 2025: Bringing the Tradition Home 🧂🏈
For years, the Salt Bowl has been more than just a game—it’s a tradition that unites our communities and schools in a night of excitement and hometown pride. While we are so thankful to the staff at War Memorial for the experience they have provided to our student athletes for all these years, after listening to families and considering the future of this event, we’re making a big move—back home to Saline County!
Hosting the game in Saline County allows us to celebrate right where it all began. The experience will be smaller in scale but full of the traditional rivalry between our two schools and communities. As the home team for the 2025 game, Benton will host the event in their athletic facility on Friday, August 29.
There are countless individuals from our communities and War Memorial who have contributed their time and effort over the years. We appreciate their dedication and look forward to working with our community partners to make the Salt Bowl rivalry a truly memorable event. Watch for additional details this summer.
We’re excited to take this step forward while honoring the history that has brought us together for so many years. Let’s make Salt Bowl 2025 a new tradition—right here at home.
