Notes: Forfeited game against North Central. Coach Covington had taped a television broadcast of a North Central game (Richland's next opponent). According to league rules, this constituted illegal scouting. Coach Covington voluntarily forfeited Richland's victory over North Central.

Notes: 

Columbia High School (Col-Hi) was re-named Richland High School this school year. This is also the year Bomber Bowl was offically renamed to Fran Rish Stadium.

Some felt that Col-Hi and Columbia High School of Burbank, being in close proximity of each other, caused some identification problems. Others felt that Hanford High School was being referred to as "a Richland High School" which detracted from Col-Hi being the first and original "Richland High School" (Col-Hi replaced the original Richland High School which was built in 1911 and which the class of 1944 moved to the newly built Col-Hi in April 1944 to complete the 1943-44 school year). Also; the Bomber Bowl was re-named Fran Rish Stadium this year. Hanford High School and Richland High School share this stadium as their home field. Hanford High School Falcons (Hanford was built in 1972) felt like they were being discriminated against by continuing to call the football field Bomber Bowl.
