Benton CSD welcomed new staff to the district with a New Teacher Orientation on Thursday. Staff spent time in the morning learning about the district from our team at Central Office, toured to every single town in the district by bus with all teacher leaders, and received a building tour from each building administrator. We are so thankful to have so many new Bobcats ready to contribute to creating A Quality Education for a Lifetime of Learning.

SPORTS: BENTON FOOTBALL PREVIEW 2024 -Courtesy of Jim Magdefrau School: Benton Community Bobcats Nickname: Bobcats Colors: Royal Blue and Gold Conference: WaMaC Class: 3A District: District 6 Co-Head Coach: Kal Goodchild andJeff Zittergruen Assistant Coaches: Garrett Albers, Ryan Junge, Josh Hoeck, Adam Bauder Tylor Edwards, Colin Waters, Rich Fisher Last Year’s District Record: 2-3 Last Year’s Overall Record: 5-4 Conference/District Champs: 11 Conference/ District Champ Years: 1980, 1987, 1988, 1993, 1996, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2018, 2019, 2021 Chief Rival: Vinton-Shellsburg Number of Returning Letterman: 14 Number of Returning Starters: Offense-6 Defense-5 Preview from Coach Goodchild and Zittergruen Top Teams in District: Williamsburg should be the favored team in the district. I would think the Grinnell will be a close second. Solon will be a good team and should be able to compete at the upper level. South Tama brings back a large number of returning players. Fairfield will have a very good running back. With a new staff it is hard to determine how good they will be. Our non-district will be very tough. We open with Vinton and that is our rival and has always been a good game. Marion and CCA are bringing back a number of good athletes and will be very solid teams. Mt. Vernon will be one of the top teams in 3A again. Overall Thoughts: We have a challenging schedule. The competition will be very good. We play two 4A schools and one team that was in the State Championship. Solon, Marion, Williamsburg and Mt Vernon were play-off teams a year ago. Six of the nine teams we played had winning records. We return All State lineman Carter Holmes, We have had a very good off season! We also have a talented group of incoming athletes that should make us better. Our athletes have worked very hard in the weightroom to help make us competitive! We lost a very talented group but returned some very talented athletes.
