Madras White Buffaloes Boys Soccer 5-3 Estacada

Five goals on the road gave Madras boys soccer its most convincing win of the season Thursday, as the White Buffaloes defeated Estacada 5-3 in a Tri-Valley Conference (4A) opener played in Estacada. For Madras, Oregon families following the squad from afar, this one was worth the road trip to witness, even from a distance. The White Buffaloes came in sitting at 2-2 on the year, needing a result to gain some early-season traction, and they delivered in a big way against the Rangers. Scoring five times against a team playing on its home pitch speaks to the offensive confidence Madras carried into the match. Allowing three goals is something the defense will want to clean up, but the three-goal winning margin left little doubt about who controlled the afternoon. Madras now stands at 3-2 overall and, perhaps more importantly, 1-0 in conference play. The White Buffaloes will look to build on that league momentum when they return to action next week.
