Wilsonville Wildcats Football 56-28 Milwaukie

Wilsonville's football team opened the 2026 season with a statement, defeating host Milwaukie 56-28 on Friday night in a non-league road matchup. The Wildcats, representing Wilsonville, Oregon, in the Northwest Oregon Conference (5A), wasted no time making clear they intend to be a factor in 5A this fall.

The margin tells the story. Wilsonville built a commanding lead against the Mustangs and never let Milwaukie find a foothold, eventually pulling away to a 28-point victory on the road. Scoring 56 points in any game is an impressive early-season indicator, suggesting the Wildcats brought back real offensive firepower from last year's roster.

Milwaukie kept things competitive enough to score 28 of their own, but Wilsonville's output was simply too much to overcome in Milwaukie's own stadium.

The Wildcats move to 1-0 as they head into next week, with Northwest Oregon Conference play on the horizon. Friday's performance gives the program a confident foundation to build on as the schedule stiffens.
