Richland High School Boys Basketball Scores

Richland Colts (1910-1920) 1921-1929

1909-10 Basketball Season (Richland, Washington)
Coach: Brittain
Richland 13	20 Kennewick	(L)
Richland 14	23 Kennewick	(L)
Team Players Walter Timmerman, Paul Granlund, Jay Long, James Fallon, Phillip Shireman, Brittain Note: According to local weekly Kennewick paper; this is Richland's first recorded High School basketball team. Apparently all school age students attended school in the same school building. The high school age students formed their own basketball team to compete with other local area high school teams. Brittain was a player-coach. As far as I know these two games are the only two games recorded for Richland. The first name of Brittain was not recorded. Richland's first High School was built the following year in 1911 and served the small community of Richland until April of 1944 when the student body moved into the newly built Columbia High School to finish the 1943-44 school year.

More often than not; there would be a commentary of a particular game and the score would not be reported/or an upcoming game would be listed and then the next week/no mention of the game would be reported.
