MILWAUKIE – McMinnville football rode an efficient offensive gameplan and a stout defensive effort to a 60-14 victory at Milwaukie Friday night in the 2019 season-opener. Running backs Kerby Hartzell and Preston Ginter combined for 178 yards and six touchdowns, while cornerback Braden Woods nabbed two interceptions to lead the defense.

Hartzell tacked on another rushing TD in the first, while Ginter added an 18-yard score and a fumble recovery for touchdown.
Ginter, Hartzell and Deric Fox all scored running TDs in the second period, resulting in a 47-7 halftime edge for the Grizzlies.
