The McLoughlin Pioneers will head out on the road to take on the Umatilla Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither McLoughlin nor Umatilla posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
McLoughlin can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. The matchup between them and Grant Union wasn't particularly close, with McLoughlin falling 26-7. The Pioneers just can't catch a break and have now endured eight defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Umatilla was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They received a blow as they fell 20-6 to The Dalles.
McLoughlin might still be hurting after the 40-14 defeat they got from Umatilla in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. That game was all but decided by halftime, at which point McLoughlin was down 40-0.
