The game which began the high school football season in the City of Salina this year, will be repeated in 2025 as Salina Central and Salina South have both advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class 5A playoffs and will meet up this coming Friday night with one advancing to the following Friday’s Class 5A semifinals.
Salina Central was one of three Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League II football teams to qualify for Friday night’s quarterfinal round and the AVCTL II team to advance to next Friday’s semifinals.
The Mustangs eliminated one of the other two AVCTL II with their 62-32 victory which eliminated Goddard from the 2025 postseason.
