Richland climbs up to No. 3 in 4A football poll
With their convincing 33-0 win over Kamiakin last Friday in Mid-Columbia Conference play, the Richland Bombers jumped up into the No. 3 spot in the Class 4A football poll this week.
The Bombers (6-0, 4-0 MCC), who play at Walla Walla on Friday, moved up from fourth. Camas leads the 4A poll, with Woodinville No. 2
Chiawana (5-1, 3-1 MCC) comes in sixth this week and will play Pasco on Thursday. The Riverhawks play at Richland on Oct. 20.
Despite the loss, Kamiakin (5-1, 3-1 MCC) only dropped from third to fourth in the Class 3A poll. Eastside Catholic is No. 1, followed by Ferndale and O’Dea.
Royal (6-0) still remains atop the 1A poll, but one voter gave their top vote to Meridian, which is ranked third. Connell (6-0) is ranked No. 2 and will play at Royal on Friday.
In the 2B poll, Tri-Cities Prep was ranked 11th, just one point behind No. 10 Davenport.
