Willamina had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They breezed past the Sheridan Spartans to the tune of 41-0. The Bulldogs pushed the score to 30-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Spartans had little chance of recovering from.

Willamina found their leader in sophomore Jacob Bazzy, who rushed for 149 yards and three TDs on only nine carries. Another player making a difference was Shane Mathers, who rushed for 56 yards and one touchdown.

One reason for the win was Willamina's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Max Dunn, Landon Risseeuw, and Jack Dunn, who each picked up one sack apiece.

Sheridan's defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Willamina will challenge Rainier at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Sheridan, they will take on Harrisburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
