Creswell Bulldogs Football 29-26 Coquille

A three-point margin was all the Creswell Bulldogs needed Saturday night, as the football team held off Coquille 29-26 in a non-league home contest in Creswell, Oregon, giving Mountain Valley Conference (3A) fans something to celebrate after a slow start to the fall. The victory moves Creswell to 1-2 on the season, a welcome turnaround after back-to-back early losses had put the Bulldogs in a difficult spot heading into the weekend. Playing in front of the home crowd proved to be a factor, and the team responded with enough grit to outlast a Coquille squad that pushed all the way to the final whistle. The three-point margin reflects just how competitive the contest was, with neither team able to pull away decisively until the clock ran out. With league play in the Mountain Valley Conference continuing to build, Creswell will look to carry this momentum into next week and string together wins that can reshape the direction of their 2026 campaign.
