Myrtle Point Bobcats Football 8-52 Heppner

Heppner handed Myrtle Point a 52-8 football loss Friday night, sending the Bulldogs home from eastern Oregon with their fourth defeat of the season. The Myrtle Point squad, representing the 2A-SD4 Special District 4 out of Myrtle Point, Oregon, made the long road trip to face the Mustangs in a non-league contest that proved to be a tough test late in the fall campaign. Heppner controlled the game throughout, building a commanding margin that the Bulldogs could not overcome, managing just a single score on the night. The loss drops Myrtle Point to 7-4 on the season, a record that still reflects a solid body of work through eleven games. The Bulldogs entered Friday at 7-3, carrying real momentum from a strong regular season, and while this result stings, it does not erase what this group has built. Myrtle Point will now turn its attention to the postseason picture and what comes next in its 2026 campaign.
