By JOHN GUNTHER The World

North Bend’s football team traveled halfway across the state and used a strong second half to beat Baker 32-14 on Saturday in a game played at Crook County High School in Prineville. “We really struggled offensively in the first half,” North Bend coach Gary Prince said. “We had to make some last-minute changes and the kids took a little time to adjust. Defensively, we played an excellent game all four quarters. Brad McK- echnie and our defensive coaches really did a great job on getting the kids ready this week.” The teams were tied 14-all at halftime, but North Bend forced four second-half turnovers and pulled away in the fourth quarter.
