On the other hand, Willamina, with a 1-3 record, is hoping to turn things around after consecutive losses. In their last game, they fell to Scio 20-8, but Jacob Hadley was a bright spot for the Bulldogs, rushing for 156 yards and a touchdown. Willamina’s defense will have to step up to contain Dayton’s relentless ground attack if they want to stay in the game.
Historically, Dayton has had the upper hand, winning eight out of nine matchups since 2014. The last time these two teams met, Dayton won convincingly, 44-6, back in 2021. For Willamina to reverse that trend, they will need a big performance from their key players, especially on defense, to slow down Dayton’s running game.
As both teams prepare for this crucial conference game, the Bulldogs will look to defend their home field and seek redemption, while the Pirates aim to keep their playoff hopes alive with another victory. Both squads are hungry for a win, making this a game worth watching.
