2024 年本顿 vs 布莱恩特盐碗赛

2024 年 8 月 30 日星期五晚上，这是一场精彩的盐碗比赛，本顿黑豹队在这场橄榄球对抗赛中第 50 次面对科比黄蜂队。

The Salt Bowl is an annual high school football game played between the Benton Panthers and the Bryant Hornets in Saline County, Arkansas. The game is typically played on the last Friday of August at Simmons Bank Field at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The Salt Bowl is one of the largest high school football games in the state of Arkansas, and it is typically attended by over 20,000 fans.

盐碗赛是一年一度的高中橄榄球比赛，在阿肯色州萨林县本顿黑豹队和布莱恩特黄蜂队之间进行。该比赛通常于八月的最后一个星期五在小石城战争纪念体育场的西蒙斯银行球场举行。盐碗赛是阿肯色州最大的高中橄榄球比赛之一，通常有超过 20,000 名球迷参加。

The Salt Bowl began in 1974, when Bryant High School recently became a 3A team and Benton High School was looking for a new challenger after Fort Smith Southside High School ended its contract to play Benton. The first official "bowl game" was held in 2000, after the crowd for the Benton-Bryant matchup became too large for any stadium in Saline County to hold them.

盐碗赛始于 1974 年，当时布莱恩特高中 (Bryant High School) 最近成为一支 3A 球队，而本顿高中 (Benton High School) 在史密斯堡南区高中 (Fort Smith Southside High School) 结束与本顿 (Benton) 比赛的合同后正在寻找新的挑战者。第一次正式的“碗赛”于 2000 年举行，当时观看本顿与布莱恩特比赛的观众太多，萨林县的任何体育场都无法容纳他们。

In the early years of the rivalry, Benton was the dominant team. However, the city of Bryant has grown exponentially and so has its school system. The Hornets have made a huge comeback. After Bryant won the 2022 game, it was at a tie of 24 wins for each team. The Hornets surpassed the Panthers that next year, and for this 50th anniversary of the rivalry, Bryant won again, to make it 26 wins to Benton’s 24.

在早期的竞争中，本顿队占据主导地位。然而，布莱恩特市呈指数级增长，其学校系统也是如此。黄蜂队取得了巨大的逆转。科比赢得 2022 年比赛后，双方战绩为 24 场并列。第二年，黄蜂队超越了黑豹队，在这场对抗 50 周年之际，科比再次获胜，黄蜂队取得了 26 场胜利，而本顿则获得了 24 场胜利。

The game is called the "Salt Bowl" because of the large salt mines that are located in Saline County. The game is also known for its salty atmosphere, both on and off the field. The rivalry between Benton and Bryant is one of the most intense in the state of Arkansas, and the Salt Bowl is always a highly anticipated event.

由于盐县有大型盐矿，这项比赛被称为“盐碗”。这项比赛还以其场内场外的咸味气氛而闻名。本顿和科比之间的竞争是阿肯色州最激烈的竞争之一，盐碗赛一直是备受期待的赛事。

Here are some of the highlights from the 2024 Salt Bowl:

以下是 2024 年盐碗赛的一些亮点：

* Benton Senior Receiver Elias Payne (#1) ran the ball and leaped directly over his opponent to make the touchdown. It was the stuff of movies. It was the kind of thing that makes you question if that really just happened. But there it was in the replay for everyone to see again.

* 本顿高级接球手埃利亚斯·佩恩（Elias Payne）（#1）跑球并直接跳过对手达阵。这是电影里的东西。这种事情会让你怀疑这是否真的发生过。但在重播中，大家可以再次看到。

* Buc-ee's Travel Center is officially coming to Benton, Arkansas! Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the announcement at the coin toss. And then… Buc-ee himself came out on to the field in a Hummer provided by Everett Buick GMC, and driven by Benton Mayor Tom Farmer, along with Gary James, Executive Director/CEO of the Benton Chamber of Commerce.

* Buc-ee 旅游中心正式来到阿肯色州本顿！州长萨拉·赫卡比·桑德斯在掷硬币时宣布了这一消息。然后……Buc-ee 本人驾驶着埃弗雷特别克 GMC 提供的悍马车出现在现场，由本顿市市长汤姆·法默 (Tom Farmer) 以及本顿商会执行董事/首席执行官加里·詹姆斯 (Gary James) 驾驶。

The 2024 Salt Bowl was a memorable event, and it will surely be talked about for years to come.
