RICHLAND -- The Richland Bombers displayed some championship moxie Friday night, rallying from a seven-point halftime deficit to defeat a stubborn Hanford team 35-21 at Fran Rish Stadium.

Even though the Bombers took over the game in the second half, the Falcons' performance may make them a team to contend with in the CBBN 3A race.

"We've got the toughest non-league schedule around," said Hanford coach Rob Oram, whose team played well last week in a 24-0 loss to Chiawana. "Us and Pasco. Now we're ready to go win some league games."

Friday's game had upset written all over it until Richland's many-headed monster of an offense asserted itself in the third quarter.

Hanford shocked the heavily favored Bombers with three touchdowns in the first half.

Jalen DeVine scored on a 9-yard run with 7:07 left in the first quarter after a bad snap on a punt attempt gave the Falcons a first-and-goal on the Richland 9.
