Bandon Tigers Football 22-32 Illinois Valley

Illinois Valley pulled away from Bandon on Friday night, defeating the Tigers 32-22 in a Sunset Conference (2A) league football game played in Bandon, Oregon. The loss drops Bandon to 1-7 on the season and 0-3 in conference play, leaving the Tigers searching for answers as the regular season winds down. Illinois Valley controlled enough of the contest to build a ten-point cushion, and Bandon could not close the gap despite putting 22 points on the board at home. The Tigers showed some offensive life, but the Wolves proved to be a step ahead when it mattered most. Bandon has now dropped three straight league games, making the remaining conference schedule critical for the program heading into the postseason picture. The Tigers will need to tighten up on both sides of the ball if they hope to end the year on a positive note. Bandon is back in action next week, looking to build some momentum before the season closes.
