Roosevelt Roughriders Football 47-6 Benson

Roosevelt's football team made a statement on the road Friday night, dismantling Benson 47-6 in a Portland Interscholastic League (6A) contest played in Portland, Oregon. The lopsided margin left little doubt which team controlled the night from start to finish. The Rough Riders piled up points consistently throughout the game, never allowing Benson a chance to find any real momentum, with the Techsters' lone score offering little consolation against a relentless Roosevelt effort. The victory moves Roosevelt to 3-1 on the season and 2-1 in league play, a strong bounce-back showing after an earlier conference setback. Winning on the road against a PIL opponent always carries weight, and doing it by 41 points adds an extra layer of confidence heading into the back half of the schedule. Roosevelt's defense especially deserves credit for keeping Benson largely off the scoreboard. The Rough Riders return to action next week looking to build on this momentum and continue their push for a stronger league standing.
