Fruitland — Payette took advantage of five Fruitland turnovers Friday to keep its Snake River Valley Conference football title hopes alive as the Pirates pulled off a 26-21 victory over the Grizzlies in Fruitland.
It was Payette’s first win over the inter-country rival Grizzlies since an 18-14 triumph over Fruitland Oct. 7, 1994. It was only Payette’s third win over Fruitland in 32 years.
For Fruitland, it was the first SRV contest the Grizzlies have lost on their home field since falling to Middleton Oct. 24, 2003.

Nyssa beat Riverside, 41-0.
Spray-Mitchell beat Adrian, 54-30.
Vale beat Umatilla, 41-0.
