Siuslaw sent North Bend to last place in the Far West League, beating the Bulldogs 27-12 in Florence on Friday.
North Bend dropped to 0-3 in league play, while Siuslaw improved to 2-1.
With South Umpqua stunning Sutherlin Friday night, North Bend is the only winless team in the league standings.
The Bulldogs finish the season with home games against South Umpqua next week and Brookings-Harbor the following week, and actually still could get back into the playoff picture with two wins and help from other squads.
The Bulldogs opened up the scoring with a 1-yard run from Dalton Iveans, who had 29 yards rushing on 10 carries.
The Vikings took over from there, with quarterback John Johnson throwing a 60-yard touchdown pass to Eric Tipler, followed by a 1-yard run from Sonny Tupua. Johnson threw another touchdown pass, this time to Tim Raybould from 6 yards out.
North Bend found the end zone in the third quarter, with a 2-yard touchdown run from Jon Harris, but Tupua punched another one in for Siuslaw, this time for a 10-yard touchdown to secure the victory.
Tupua led the Vikings with 146 yards rushing on 32 carries, and Johnson threw 11-for-17 for 177 yards.
Cameron Seiger led the Bulldogs with 61 yards rushing on 13 carries, and he also caught two passes for 32 yards. Iveans was 4-for-13 passing for 63 yards and one interception, and gained 29 yards on the ground.
Trojans top Bruins
Douglas won a shootout with Brookings-Harbor 40-28 to take over sole possession of first place in the Far West League and stay perfect on the season.
Paul Polamalu passed for 243 yards and three scores for the Trojans and Sky Woods had a 51-yard scoring pass to David Froude to help Douglas build a 28-7 lead.
Dustin Paradis rushed for 144 yards on nine carries and scored three times for the Bruins and Tyler Lueckfeld added 99 yards on nine carries as the Bruins rolled up 299 rushing yards against the Trojans’ tough defense.
But Jered Stoffal had two touchdown runs and also scored on a reception to help the Trojans stay in front.
Lancers stop Sutherlin
South Umpqua topped visiting Sutherlin 20-7 Friday night, handing the Bulldogs their first league loss.
The Lancers scored first, with Danny Walton running in a 5-yard touchdown. Sutherlin responded with Brian Andry’s 2-yard score.
