Gold Beach begins its quest for a second straight Class 3A football title in the friendly confines of Marshfield’s Pete Susick Stadium on Saturday, when the Panthers play Warrenton in a first-round playoff game.
Bandon and Myrtle Point also start the playoffs on Saturday, with road games against Regis and Grant Union, respectively.
The only Friday night game involving a team from the South Coast is in Florence, where Siuslaw hosts Henley in the opening round of the Class 4A playoffs.
Marshfield and North Bend both have byes in the first round of the playoffs. Marshfield visits Jefferson in the second round next Friday, while North Bend plays the winner of a first-round game between Philomath and La Salle in a game that likely also will be played next Friday.
Marshfield has been Gold Beach’s home away from home in recent years, as the Panthers have sought the best possible playing conditions when the rainy season has started. Gold Beach coach Kevin Swift multiple times has said his team works too hard to risk losing a game because of poor field conditions.
Gold Beach has played at least one playoff game at Marshfield three of the past four seasons, and run up a 4-0 playoff record at Pete Susick Stadium.
Last year, the Panthers beat Willamina at Marshfield in the first round on the road to the state championship.
Two years ago, Gold Beach topped Jefferson and then Dayton at Marshfield on the way to the semifinals.
In 2004, Marshfield was the site of Gold Beach’s semifinal win over Bandon, which put the Panthers in the championship game.
Saturday’s game is set for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
That’s the same time Myrtle Point is set to start against Grant Union at John Day.
Bandon and Regis meet on the Rams’ home field in Stayton, east of Salem, in a game that starts at 3 p.m.
Siuslaw is playing at home for the sixth straight year and has won all five of its home playoff games since moving into its current stadium. The winner of Friday’s game travels to Capital Conference champion Estacada in the second round.
Admission for all first-round games is $6 for adults and $4 for students.
