BRYANT, Ark. (KTHV) - The sound of football--the band, the cheers and of course the rivalry. Kenneth Bates says, "It's like a rivalry that's been going on since 1976."

Saline County is a county divided. "It's been pretty intense for a lot of years," Bates continues. Benton versus Bryant. They will come head to head on Friday in the annual Salt Bowl in one of the largest games in the state. Just three days before the big game both cities come together for the Saline County Fair Parade and Bryant Pep Rally. But of course, everyone made it clear as to which team they are rooting for.

Colson Billingsley says, "When they come out, they're gonna beat Benton." Ten-year-old Colson Billingsley says he bleeds blue. But that wasn't always the case for his dad. Carlton Billingsley explains, "I was born and raised in Benton. Played for the Benton panthers in high school and since have moved over to Bryant."
