Solon Football Starts Season At Aurora On Friday

SOLON, OH — The Solon High football team will play its first game of the season on Friday, hitting the road to take on Aurora High. The team's first home game will be August 31 against Twinsburg.

Solon has opened its season against Aurora for three straight years. The Comets have won each game in the series. The two teams have played each other 18 times and Solon has dominated the series: holding a record of 15-3 all-time.
