sporting news:
One play was all it took to
set the tone and establish the
theme for the round-one play

After the Madras football
team received the initial kick
off, the Buffs offense saw
their first of six interceptions.
And it was Scappoose who
would turn an even mix of

a 50-6 win. Still, the White

successful 2012 season.
