Banks Braves Football 58-0 Philomath

Banks football wasted no time making a statement in 2026, shutting out Philomath 58-0 on the road Friday night to open the season. The Braves, representing Banks, Oregon and the Coastal Range League (3A), traveled to Philomath for this non-league matchup and returned home with a dominant victory that will turn heads across the region. A 58-point shutout on the road to begin the year is about as strong a season-opening performance as a program can ask for. The Braves controlled all phases of the game, piling up points while keeping Philomath off the scoreboard entirely, a result that signals serious depth and execution on both sides of the ball. Banks moves to 1-0 on the young season, carrying significant momentum into the weeks ahead. The Braves will look to build on this performance as Coastal Range League play approaches, and Friday's showing suggests this group has the talent to compete at a high level throughout the fall.
