Postseason Begins for Sprague High School Football

Salem, Oregon – With the regular season now behind them, the Sprague High School football team is ready to kick off the playoffs. On Friday night, they will host Clackamas in the Statesman Journal’s Game of the Week, a first-round matchup in the 6A Open class, starting at 7 p.m.

Sprague, entering the game as the sixth seed, boasts an impressive record of 8-1 but is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 52-7 loss to Sheldon last week. That loss not only determined the champions of the 6A Special District 1 but also left Sprague eager to restore their momentum in the postseason.

On the other hand, Clackamas, the eleventh seed, comes into the game with a 6-3 record. They faced a tough defeat against Nelson last week, falling 37-7, and finished in third place in the Mt. Hood Conference. Both teams will be aiming to put their recent losses behind them and seize the opportunity to advance in the tournament.

The winner of this Friday’s clash will move on to face third-seeded Sheldon in Eugene next week, which adds even more intensity to this opening playoff matchup.

Fans are encouraged to check back for real-time score updates and highlights from the Sprague versus Clackamas game, along with other playoff results from teams in the Salem area and across the state.

For detailed takeaways and coverage of the game, sports reporter Jarrid Denney will provide insights and updates following the match on Saturday.

As excitement builds for the postseason, both teams are ready to give their best on the field and make their mark in the Oregon high school football playoff bracket.
