Newberg Tigers Football 0-37 Lakeridge

Lakeridge handed Newberg a 37-0 shutout loss in Friday night's football season opener, leaving the Tigers searching for answers after a rough start to the fall. The game was played in Newberg, Oregon, where the Pacific Conference (6A) program hosted the Pacers in a non-league matchup to kick off the 2026 season. Lakeridge came out sharp and controlled the contest from start to finish, holding Newberg off the scoreboard for all four quarters. Without a detailed box score available, the lopsided margin tells a clear story, the Pacers dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage and gave Newberg very few opportunities to get anything going offensively. For a team beginning the year with high hopes, absorbing a 37-point shutout at home is a tough lesson, but there is still plenty of season ahead to grow. Newberg drops to 0-1 and will look to bounce back next week as Pacific Conference play approaches on the horizon.
