Thurston Colts Football 49-6 St. Helens

Thurston's football team left no doubt Friday night, handing visiting St. Helens a 49-6 defeat at home in Springfield, Oregon. The lopsided non-league victory pushed the Colts of the 5A-SD5 Special District 5 to an impressive 8-1 record on the season. Thurston controlled the game from start to finish, piling up 49 points in a performance that showcased the depth and physicality this program has built through the fall. St. Helens struggled to find any rhythm against a Thurston defense that held the visitors to a single score all evening. The 43-point margin speaks to a Colts squad that entered the game at 7-1 and refused to look past a non-league opponent late in the year. With the postseason approaching, Friday's performance offers a timely reminder of what Thurston is capable of when clicking on all cylinders. The Colts will look to carry this momentum forward as they prepare for the challenges that await in the playoffs.
