Solon comes to Evans field tonight to play football against the winless Mt. Pleasant Panthers, the Spartans are 1-1 on the year. M.P. suffered their second loss of the season last Friday night when the class 4A Ottumwa Bulldogs beat them 46-3, Solon lost to #1 ranked class 1A Iowa City Regina 38-0. Solon Coach Kevin Miller said they made way too many mistakes especially offensively. Shawn Striegel says he feels the pain coach Miller had last week as the Panthers have also at key times made penalties or mistakes that put them behind the 8-ball. Last year Solon beat M.P. 56-6, a game where the Spartans returned the opening kickoff and Mt. Pleasant never recovered.
KILJ-FM 105.5 will broadcast live with the pregame show starting at 6:30 and kickoff at 7:30. The freshman teams of the two schools meet at 5 p.m.
