West Salem Titans Football 27-39 Mountainside

Mountainside handed West Salem a 39-27 defeat in a non-league football game Friday night at West Salem High School in Salem, Oregon, where the Titans of the Central Valley Conference (6A) dropped to 0-2 on the young season. The visiting Mountainside squad proved too much to handle, building enough of a cushion to hold off West Salem despite the Titans generating 27 points of their own. While the final margin stings, West Salem showed some offensive capability against a solid non-league opponent, and those scoring opportunities are something the coaching staff can build on heading into conference play. The Titans have faced back-to-back challenges to open the 2026 campaign, but early non-league schedules are designed to test teams before the games that matter most in the standings. West Salem will look to regroup this week in practice and find its footing before Central Valley Conference play heats up. A bounce-back performance is the goal when the Titans return to action next week.
