Tigard Tigers Football 45-14 South Medford

Tigard's football team made a statement Friday night, routing South Medford 45-14 on the road to open the 2026 season. The Tigers, representing Tigard, Oregon, and the Three Rivers League (6A), traveled south to face the Panthers in a non-league matchup and left little doubt about the outcome. The 31-point margin signals a Tigard squad that arrived in Medford ready to play, controlling the game on both sides of the ball in what turned into a dominant performance from start to finish. South Medford managed just 14 points against a Tiger defense that kept the Panthers largely in check through four quarters. Offensively, Tigard piled up 45 points, showing the kind of scoring punch that will make opponents take notice as the season unfolds. The Tigers move to 1-0 with the victory, a strong early-season confidence builder before Three Rivers League play gets underway. Tigard returns home next week looking to keep the momentum rolling.
