Coquille Red Devils Football 36-40 Madras

Madras edged Coquille 40-36 in a tight non-league football game Friday night, handing the Red Devils a narrow defeat on the road. The loss drops Coquille, representing the Sunset Conference (2A) out of Coquille, Oregon, to 0-5 on the season. Despite the final margin, the Red Devils made a game of it, keeping things competitive deep into the contest against the White Buffaloes. A 36-point output shows Coquille's offense found some rhythm away from home, though the defense ultimately could not hold off Madras in the end. The four-point difference reflects how closely matched the two teams were on the night. For a squad still searching for its first win, a performance like this, scoring freely against a non-league opponent, offers something to build on heading into October. Coquille returns to action next week looking to carry that offensive energy into Sunset Conference play and break into the win column for the first time this fall.
