Sandy Pioneers Football 3-6 Canby

Canby edged Sandy 6-3 in a low-scoring non-league football game Friday night, handing the Sandy Pioneers a tough loss at home in Sandy, Oregon. The Mt. Hood Conference (6A) squad dropped to 1-2 on the season with the defeat, a result that stings after the close final margin suggested the Pioneers had opportunities to pull level or take the lead. With only three points on the board, Sandy's offense struggled to find the end zone against a Canby defense that kept things tight throughout. Credit belongs to the Sandy defense as well, holding Canby to just six points and keeping the Pioneers in the game until the final whistle. A three-point game is never a comfortable loss, but it does offer something to build on. Sandy will look to shake off this non-league setback and regain momentum as Mt. Hood Conference play approaches, giving the coaching staff film to study and adjustments to make heading into next week.
