Lost River Raiders Football 22-33 Rogue River

Rogue River pulled away from Lost River on Friday night, handing the Merrill, Oregon, football program a 33-22 defeat in East Cascades Conference (2A) play. The game was played at Rogue River's home field, and the 11-point final margin tells the story of a host team that controlled enough of the contest to secure the win. The loss drops Lost River to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in conference play, making every remaining league game a must-win situation if the team hopes to find its footing in the standings. Without a detailed box score available, the specifics of how those 22 points were built remain unclear, but the offense showed it could put points on the board. The challenge now is finding the consistency needed to close the gap on opponents. Lost River returns to action next week looking to pick up its first conference win and build some momentum heading into the back half of the fall schedule.
