Roosevelt Roughriders Football 8-21 Franklin

Franklin handed Roosevelt a 21-8 defeat Friday night in a Portland, Oregon league football game, dropping the Roughriders to 3-5 on the season. The loss came on the road against the Quakers and leaves Roosevelt at 2-5 in conference play as the team navigates a challenging stretch of the schedule. Franklin controlled the game throughout, building a lead that the Roughriders were unable to overcome despite managing a score of their own. The lone eight points for Roosevelt showed some fight, but the 13-point deficit proved too steep to close. With the fall season winding down, Roosevelt will need to regroup quickly and find consistency on both sides of the ball. The Roughriders still have opportunities ahead to finish the year on a stronger note, and closing out the season with a winning stretch would give the program momentum heading into the offseason. Roosevelt's next game will be a chance to respond.
