DUFUR – The four-year magic carpet ride known as the Dufur football team has been the benchmark for many 1A programs.

During their four consecutive title runs, the Rangers have gone 49-3 over the last four years, including 33 winds in, a row and dominated the Big Sky Conference with seven wins and one forfeit, and outscored opponents by a combined 330-82 margin to take league-championship honors.

Coming off a dramatic home win over defending champion Dufur, the No. 7-ranked Sherman Huskies are vying for their fifth consecutive win this Friday against Joe Jaeger, Gavin Eastwood and the Mitchell-Spray Eagle-Loggers in a matinee contest scheduled for 1 p.m. in Fossil.
