Phoenix Pirates Football 3-55 Cascade Christian

Cascade Christian pulled away decisively on Friday night, handing Phoenix a 55-3 defeat in Skyline Conference (4A) football. The Phoenix Varsity squad traveled from Phoenix, Oregon, for what proved to be a challenging road assignment against the Cougars. With the loss, Phoenix drops to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in conference play, putting the Pirates in a difficult spot as the second half of league competition takes shape. The margin was steep, and Cascade Christian controlled the contest throughout, limiting Phoenix to a lone field goal on the scoreboard. Road environments against quality Skyline Conference opponents can expose areas for growth, and this one will provide plenty of film for the coaching staff to evaluate heading into the week. Phoenix will need to regroup quickly and lean on the experience gained from a tough stretch if the team hopes to finish the season on a stronger note. The Pirates return to action next week looking to steady the ship.
