Churchill Lancers Football 20-13 Crater

A hard-fought road trip to Central Point paid off Friday night, as Churchill High School's football team knocked off Crater 20-13 to pick up a key 5A-SD5 Special District 5 league victory. The Lancers, based in Eugene, Oregon, made the trip south and returned home with a result that significantly strengthens their standing in the conference standings. With the win, Churchill improves to 4-3 overall and 4-1 in league play, putting the Lancers in strong position as the regular season winds toward its close. The seven-point margin kept things interesting late, with Crater making it a one-score game before Churchill held on for the final result. Entering Friday's game at 3-3, the Lancers needed a statement performance on the road, and they delivered one in a tough environment. Churchill will look to build on this momentum as they head into the final weeks of the regular season, where every league game carries significant playoff implications.
