West Salem Titans Football 27-21 North Medford

West Salem picked up its first win of the football season Friday night, defeating North Medford 27-21 on the road in a non-league matchup. The Titans, representing Salem, Oregon, and the Central Valley Conference (6A), came away from Medford with a hard-earned result that moves them to 1-2 on the year. Trailing in the win column heading into the trip south, West Salem found a way to outlast a North Medford squad that kept the game competitive until the final whistle. The six-point margin tells the story of a tight contest, one where the Titans had to earn every yard and every stop down the stretch. Picking up a road win against an out-of-state-conference opponent is exactly the kind of confidence-builder a young team can lean on as the schedule stiffens. West Salem returns to Central Valley Conference play next week, looking to carry this momentum into league action and build on a victory that was a long time coming this fall.
