Jefferson Democrats Football 0-35 Ida B. Wells

Ida B. Wells handed Jefferson a shutout Friday night, defeating the Democrats 35-0 in a Portland Interscholastic League (6A) football game played in Portland, Oregon. The loss drops Jefferson to 1-3 overall and 1-3 in league play as the Democrats look to find their footing midway through the fall season. Ida B. Wells controlled the game from start to finish, keeping Jefferson off the scoreboard entirely while building a comfortable margin on their home field. For the Democrats, the 35-point deficit highlights areas that will need immediate attention, particularly on the offensive side of the ball where generating points has been a challenge. Head coach and staff will have plenty of film to review as Jefferson searches for answers heading into the back half of the regular season. The Democrats will look to bounce back next week as they return to action with several league games still remaining, giving the team a real opportunity to climb back into contention.
