RICHLAND -- Athletes don't often get second chances.

But after Hanford kicker Will Bishop came up short on a 47-yard field goal attempt on the last play of regulation, he drilled a 36-yard field goal in overtime to give his team a 31-28 CBBN 3A win over Pasco at Fran Rish Stadium on Friday night.

"He hit the big one in crunch time to give his team a win," an elated Hanford coach Rob Oram said.

The Falcons actually appeared to have the game put away after taking a 28-14 lead on sophomore Isaac Benard's 16-yard touchdown run with 10:55 left in the fourth quarter. Benard carried the ball nine straight times for 60 yards on that drive.

But Pasco quarterback T.J. Avery led the Bulldogs back with two fourth quarter touchdown passes. Avery hit Lonnie Hurley, who made a diving catch in traffic, to tie the game with just 32.9 seconds left in regulation to tie the score.

"These kids don't give up," a downcast Pasco coach Dustin Lamb said. "But these slow starts are killing us. We have to come out faster. We give up too many points early."

Hanford went up 14-0 in the first quarter. Austin Forsyth hit Jake Oram with a perfect 34-yard TD pass with 8:17 left in the first. Then Benard scored from 24 yards out with 6:31 left.

Benard was a thorn in the side of the Pasco defense all night. The compact 190-pounder, filling in for starter Jalen DeVine, crashed and rumbled through the Pasco defense 35 times for 174 yards and three touchdowns.

"Actually we've got three pretty good tailbacks," Oram said. "You should see our third stringer. He's good too, but he has a broken arm."
