Cleveland Warriors Football 14-7 McDaniel

Cleveland held off McDaniel 14-7 in a Friday night PIL (6A) football game at home in Portland, Oregon, improving to 2-0 on the season and 2-0 in conference play. The Warriors controlled enough of the contest to come away with the victory, though McDaniel kept it competitive deep into the game, making every point matter. Cleveland's defense proved critical in the final stretch, preserving a one-score lead against a McDaniel offense that refused to go quietly. The seven-point margin tells the story of a hard-fought league game between two teams still finding their footing in the early weeks of the 2026 fall season. For Cleveland, staying undefeated through two games, both in conference, is a strong foundation heading into the heart of the PIL schedule. The Warriors will look to build on this momentum next week as league play continues and the competition only figures to get tougher.
