South Salem Saxons Football 6-56 Sprague

Sprague overpowered South Salem 56-6 in a Central Valley Conference (6A) football game Friday night in Salem, Oregon, handing the Saxons their first defeat of the 2026 season. The lopsided result ended a promising six-game winning streak for South Salem, which entered the night at 6-0 and among the more talked-about programs in the valley this fall. Sprague controlled the contest from the outset, building a commanding advantage that the Saxons were unable to answer, managing only a single score on their home field. The defeat drops South Salem to 6-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play, a reminder of how quickly the CVC can humble even the hottest teams. While the margin stings, the Saxons still carry a strong overall record with league games remaining and plenty of season left to make their case. South Salem will look to regroup quickly and respond when they return to action next week.
