Putnam Kingsmen Football 7-71 Roseburg

Roseburg handed Putnam a 71-7 defeat in Friday night football, sending the Kingsmen home from Douglas County with a tough early lesson to open the 2026 fall season. Putnam, based in Milwaukie, Oregon, and a member of the Northwest Oregon Conference (5A), traveled south for this non-league road test against a Roseburg program that has long been a force in Southern Oregon prep football. The 64-point margin reflects the challenge of facing a larger-school opponent on the road in Week 1, with the Kingsmen finding little traction against a Roseburg defense that controlled the game from the start. Putnam's lone score gave the offense a moment to build on, even in a lopsided result. The Kingsmen now sit at 0-1 as they return home and shift focus to their Northwest Oregon Conference schedule. How the young squad responds to adversity this early will be one of the key storylines to watch as the season unfolds.
