Grants Pass Cavemen Football 10-35 Willamette

Willamette handed Grants Pass a 35-10 defeat Friday night in a Southwest Conference (6A) football road game, dropping the Grants Pass, Oregon, program to 4-3 on the season. The Cavaliers struggled to generate consistent offense on the road, managing just 10 points against a Willamette squad that controlled the contest from early on. The 25-point margin tells the story of a difficult night for Grants Pass, which now sits at 1-2 in conference play after the loss. The result stings for a team that entered the week at 4-2 and looking to build momentum in the league standings. With the postseason picture coming into sharper focus across the Southwest Conference, Grants Pass will need a strong finish to the regular season to strengthen its playoff positioning. The Cavaliers return home next week with an opportunity to get back on track and fight their way back into contention within the conference.
