The Madras White Buffaloes
As the No. 3 seed from the Tri
Valley League the Madras White
Buffaloes traveled to Vale, Oregon,
on November 8, 1997, to meet the
Vikings in state football play-off's
first round.
The Buffs made a game effort in
taking on the Vikings on their home
field but at the end they couldn't pull
this one out losing to Vale by the
score of 1 4-1 2. All through the game
it looked like the Buffs could come
through with another come from
behind wins, but the time factor took
its toll, and the Vikings used up as
much of the clock in the final quarter
to hang on for the close win.
The host Vikings had more control
of the ball mostly from errors by the
Buffs. The Buffs had many turn
over's during the game by pass
interceptions and acouple of fumbles.

intercepted a pass and while he was
