• Game 1: Southridge 9, Richland 7

  There is winning ugly and there is losing ugly and the Richland Bombers almost did both in one game.I have taken stats for Richland football since September of 1989 and the one thing I have learned is that numbers don't lie. The Southridge Suns had the ball for 76 plays, Richland had 44. The Suns had 279 yards of total offense and the bombers had 90 yards. The only statistical category t

• Game 2: Richland 26, Walla Walla 20

  If you have followed Tri-City area football for any length of time you have come to appreciate the fact that the hardest place in the conference (whatever that conference may be) to play is in Walla Walla. There are several schools of thought as to why this is true but this is a family column. To that end, the Richland Bombers improved greatly over week one and came away with a hard-fought 26-2

  The Richland Bombers held their first home game of the 2012 season and thanks to some late-game heroics, came away with a big 21-14 win over the evenly matched Chiawana Riverhawks.The Riverhawks came out of the gate with a definite script: give the ball to Clifton Lozano and see how things go from there. In the first eight plays, Lozano had 36 yards and three first downs. Next, the River

• Game 5: Richland 29, Kennewick 14

  If you hold onto the ball long enough, it makes it tougher for the other team to score. The Richland Bombers proved this theory tonight in their game against the Kennewick Lions in a 29-14 victory.For the second week in a row, the Bombers took the ball on their first posession and marched it down the field for a touchdown. Starting on their own 45-yard line the Richland offense bulled th

  History was made tonight as the home standing Hanford Falcons defeated the visiting Richland Bombers in Fran Rish Stadium 31-14, thus becoming the first Falcon squad to win a football game against their cross-town rival. Of course, this is only the seventh game in the series so it is not long-standing futility on the field but I bet if you quiz your local Hanford alum you would realize it is a
