UMPQUA BASIN – Coming up Friday night, one team will be leaving Morrow Field at South Eugene High School with its first win of the year. The Roseburg football team travels to Eugene for the only time this season as the Indians prepare to take on the Axemen in a battle of winless teams.

Many of the Roseburg players may have last year’s loss to South Eugene still stuck in their memories. The Indians rallied to score 21-unanswered points in the second half and take a 28-24 lead with less than 60-seconds remaining in Thurman Bell’s final game coaching at Roseburg. But South Eugene managed to move down field and scored the deciding touchdown with 7-seconds left in regulation.

The Indians will look for some payback and their first win of the year, when they visit South Eugene Friday at 7 p.m. Pregame coverage of the contest starts at 6:45 p.m. on 1490 The Score or watch the game streaming live for free online at 541radio.com on the High School Football Hub.

Also coming up Friday night is the start of league play for the 4A classification. The Douglas Trojans have performed well in the early portion of the season and will try to continue that in Far West League play against the Siuslaw Vikings on Friday night. The game will kickoff at 7 p.m. in Winston.

The South Umpqua Lancers finally got in the win column last week and will aim to take down Far West League top dog Marshfield on Friday. The game will be played in Myrtle Creek and kicks off at 7 p.m.

The Sutherlin Bulldogs hit the road for their first Sky-Em League game and will visit the Sisters Outlaws. The Bulldogs are looking to snap a 3-game losing streak. Dan Bain is making the trip to Central Oregon and will have the call starting with pregame at 6:45 p.m. on i101 FM.
