Sherwood Bowmen Football 41-28 South Medford

Sherwood's football team picked up a momentum-shifting road victory Friday night, defeating South Medford 41-28 in a non-league contest played in Medford. The Bowmen, representing Sherwood, Oregon, and the Pacific Conference (6A), used the long trip south to snap a skid and find some footing heading into the heart of their schedule. The final margin of 13 points reflected a performance that saw Sherwood generate consistent offensive production against a Panthers squad that never stopped competing, making it a hard-earned result rather than a comfortable cruise. The win moves Sherwood to 2-3 on the season, a record that now carries a bit more optimism than it did 24 hours ago. For a program still searching for its best football in 2026, a road win over a Southern Oregon opponent provides both a confidence boost and some valuable film to build on. The Bowmen return home next week looking to carry this energy back into Pacific Conference play.
