Richland High School apparently was vandalized by Pasco High School supporters before Friday night's Richland-Pasco football game, say police.
Richland High's front entrance was decorated with toilet paper and purple paper sometime Thursday night, said Richland Sgt. Brian Ruegsegger.
A purple bingo marker also was used to write "PHS" on the front door and nearby columns, as well as "Pasco" on the concrete floor to the west of the entrance.
Damage is estimated at $200. Ruegsegger said they believed Pasco students were involved. Anyone with information can call Richland police at 628-0333.
This type of vandalism is considered malicious mischief, a misdemeanor.
"Looks like Richland got hit twice," Ruegsegger said. "They got hit with this, and they lost the game."
Pasco beat Richland 22-7 at Fran Rish Stadium in Richland.

Pre-game profanity
Pre-game profanity
I couldn't believe my ears -- the verbal assault for more than an hour pre-game at Pasco High School on (Sept. 30) with filthy, degrading, profanity-rich, sexual rap lyrics at top volume over the loudspeakers.
The Pasco Grid Kids teams were preparing there for an exhibition game prior to the Pasco-Eastmont contest and families were there to support the children and were exposed to this lewd smut.
I hope Pasco school officials will take action to change the channel and make a statement regarding what our kids are exposed to at PHS.
