Gold Beach Panthers Football 8-20 Grant Union

Grant Union handed Gold Beach a 20-8 defeat in a non-league football game played Saturday in Gold Beach, Oregon, where the home side competes as a Sunset Conference (2A) program. The visiting squad controlled the contest throughout, limiting Gold Beach to a single score in what proved to be a difficult afternoon at home. Details on individual standouts were not available at press time, but the final margin reflected a Grant Union unit that found consistent answers on both sides of the ball. Gold Beach now sits at 0-2 on the young season after dropping each of its first two games. The early schedule has provided a stiff challenge, and the coaching staff will look for corrective steps in preparation during the week ahead. Gold Beach returns to action next weekend with a chance to build on the positives from this game and find its footing heading deeper into the 2026 fall campaign.
