David Douglas Scots Football 8-36 Gresham

The Scots ran into a tough night Friday, falling to Gresham by a final score of 8-36. David Douglas struggled to find consistent offensive rhythm against a Gresham squad that controlled the line of scrimmage for much of the evening, and the deficit proved too steep to overcome.

Despite the loss, there were moments where the Scots showed some fight. An 8-point effort is not the production the team is looking for, but the young players gaining varsity experience in a tough conference will only benefit from the reps as the season progresses. Improvement has to be the focus week to week at this stage.

The loss drops David Douglas to 0-5 on the season. The Scots will look to regroup during the week and come out with renewed energy in their next matchup. The schedule is not getting any easier, but every game is another opportunity to build something for the future.
