2014 Bomber Football

Game Recap October 25, 2014

The Richland Bombers were facing a win-or-else situation against the depleted Kamiakin Braves team but were not able to overcome a host of penalties or TJ Faamausili and fell to the Braves 21-14.

Kamiakin struck on their very first play from scrimmage when Faamausili took the ball at the 29 yard line and didn't stop until the endzone, giving the Braves a 7-0 lead.

After that, the Bombers took over the first half. The Braves were missing several key players including their starting quarterback so Austin Gutierrez was installed as the emergency option. The Bomber defense focused soley on stopping the run and were quite successful.

Richland got on board at the end of the first quarter when Jacob Heinen scored from three yards out to tie the game at 7-7. Heinen came back later in the second quarter and scored on a 28 yard touchdown run to give the Bombers the lead at 14-7.

In the second half though, the Bombers could just not get traction on very tough Kamiakin defense. Taylor O'Toole will be seeing Kamiakin's #63 in his nightmares. The Bombers also could not overcome penalty flags which hounded them all night. Specifically, Ryan Wolski performed a perfect fake punt that would have taken them close to the Kamiakin 20 yard line but wiped out their progress and they were indeed forced to punt. That was as close as they would come.

Austin Gutierrez found his throwing stroke in the third quarter and engineered a touchdown drive, connecting with Zendejas for a 9-yard touchdown, tying the game at 14-14.

Late in the fourth quarter, Kamiakin received the ball after a Bomber punt and handed the ball to Faamausili who broke two long runs, taking the ball down to the five yard line. Two plays later, Austin Gutierrez found the goal line and a 21-14 lead, and ultimately the win.

Unfortunately for the Bombers, the loss to Kamiakin broke their last hope of making the playoffs. That, and the fact that Walla Walla beat Hanford. The Bombers played well tonight but just didn't have enough to overcome the Braves defense in the second half.

Next week, the Bombers play host to the Southridge Suns in the last scheduled home game of the season. So set your clocks for next Friday at 7:00PM at Fran Rish Stadium.

See you there.
