Mohawk Mustangs Football 16-44 Crane

Crane handed Mohawk a 44-16 defeat in Friday night football, sending the Marcola, Oregon-based program home with a tough road loss in 1A[8]-SD2 Special District 2. The Indians traveled to face Crane in a non-league matchup and found themselves outmatched by a 28-point margin when the final whistle blew. Mohawk managed 16 points on the evening but could not contain a Crane offense that piled up 44, making for a difficult night on both sides of the ball. The loss drops Mohawk to 5-4 on the season, a record that reflects a competitive fall campaign even with the setback. With the regular season winding down, the Indians will need to regroup quickly and focus on what remains ahead. How the team responds to this performance, both mentally and physically, will be a key storyline as Mohawk looks to close out the 2026 fall schedule on a positive note.
