Gladstone Gladiators Football 0-71 Estacada

Estacada handed Gladstone a 71-0 defeat Thursday night in Tri-Valley Conference (4A) football, a tough road result for the Gladstone, Oregon program. The final margin was steep, and it drops Gladstone to 0-6 overall and 0-2 in conference play through six weeks of the 2026 fall season. No detailed statistics were available, but a shutout loss of this scale signals real work ahead for a program still searching for its footing this year. Estacada controlled the game from start to finish, building an insurmountable lead on its home field. For Gladstone, the focus now shifts to the second half of the league schedule, where each remaining game represents a chance to build momentum and find something to carry into the offseason. The coaching staff and players will have to dig in this week in practice and find areas to improve before their next opportunity.
