Bandon Tigers Football 10-12 Bonanza

Bonanza edged Bandon 12-10 in a hard-fought non-league football game Friday night, handing the Bandon, Oregon-based Sunset Conference (2A) Tigers their second loss of the season. The narrow two-point margin tells the story of a game that could have gone either way, with Bandon keeping it competitive on the road against the Bonanza Bonnies throughout the contest. Scoring 10 points against a home team that managed just 12 shows the Tigers were very much in the fight, but the road environment and a slim deficit at the final whistle proved to be the difference. Bandon falls to 1-2 on the season with the result, a tough pill to swallow after what was clearly a closely contested matchup. The Tigers will now turn their attention back to Sunset Conference play, where every game carries added weight in the standings. Bandon will look to regroup this week and return to their winning form when they take the field again.
