Lost River Raiders Football 48-0 Bonanza

Lost River wasted no time making a statement in 2026, shutting out Bonanza 48-0 on the road Friday night in the football season opener for the Merrill, Oregon-based East Cascades Conference (2A) program. The Eagle defense was dominant from the first whistle, holding the Bonanza offense scoreless throughout the night while the Lost River offense piled on points in what became a commanding wire-to-wire victory. The non-league matchup served as an early measuring stick for a Lost River squad looking to establish its identity heading into conference play, and the results could not have been more encouraging. A 48-point shutout on enemy turf is the kind of performance that builds confidence and sets a tone for the weeks ahead. Lost River moves to 1-0 on the young season and will look to carry this momentum forward as the schedule stiffens. The Eagles return home next week with plenty of reasons to feel good about where this program stands.
