Crater Comets Football 0-37 Ridgeview

Ridgeview handed Crater a 37-0 defeat Friday night in a non-league football matchup to open the 2026 season. The Crater squad, based in Central Point, Oregon, and competing in the Midwestern League (5A), traveled on the road for this early-season test against Ridgeview, and the visitors were unable to find the end zone in the shutout loss. Without a detailed box score available, the margin tells the story clearly enough. Ridgeview controlled the game from the outset and did not let Crater into a rhythm on either side of the ball, building a commanding advantage that held through the final whistle. Crater drops to 0-1 on the young season. The Midwestern League schedule has not yet begun, so the Comet faithful will hope the program can shake off the rust and sharpen its execution before league play arrives. Crater's next opportunity to respond comes next week, giving the coaching staff a short window to make corrections and build some early-season momentum.
