Bandon Tigers Football 6-49 St. Mary's, Medford

St. Mary's of Medford handed Bandon a 49-6 defeat Friday night in this non-league football contest, a tough road result for the Tigers of Bandon, Oregon, who compete in the Sunset Conference (2A). The final margin reflected a difficult evening against a Medford program that controlled the game from early on. Bandon managed a lone touchdown in the contest, showing some resolve against a larger opponent, but the Tigers were unable to generate consistent momentum against the Crusaders' defense. Road non-league matchups like this one can serve as valuable measuring sticks, even when the scoreboard doesn't go your way, and Bandon's coaching staff will have plenty of film to evaluate heading into the week ahead. The loss drops Bandon to 1-4 on the season with Sunset Conference play still very much in focus. The Tigers will look to regroup this week and return home with renewed energy as they work to find their footing before the heart of league competition arrives.
