The Solomon Gorillas will head out to take on the Little River Redskins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Meanwhile, Little River hadn't done well against Central Plains recently (they were 1-6 in their previous seven matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Redskins really took it to the Oilers for the full four quarters, racking up a 68-32 victory. Surprisingly, this marked the Redskins' sixth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
Solomon better keep an eye on Jaren Garrison. He was instrumental in Little River's win, rushing for 164 yards and three TDs on only 12 carries, while also picking up 46 receiving yards and one score. That's the most rushing yards Garrison has posted since back in October of 2024. Jaxson Konen was another key player, throwing for 201 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Little River was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 336 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 168 rushing yards every time they've taken the field this season.
One reason for the win was Little River's imposing defensive line, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as four different players picked up one apiece.
Little River's record is now 6-1. As for Solomon, the win was their first at home , bumping their record up to 3-4.
Solomon was taken down by Little River 56-0 in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Gorillas, Logan Renken (who rushed for 106 yards and a pair of TDs on only six carries, and also threw for 132 yards and one touchdown on perfect 7-for-7 passing) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
