Six turnovers proved to be too much for the Bombers to overcome as they fell to Harrison 21-13. Despite the large number of turnovers and some costly penalties, Mountain Home was in the game until the final few minutes.
Harrison got the scoring started after a big return of the opening kickoff and a pass interference call on 4th and 15 to keep the drive alive. Noah Ditmanson hit Cameron Cain with a short pass, then Cain lateraled to Josh Williams who found the endzone on the 22 yard play.
Mountain Home would answer later in the first quarter when Aaron Holmes scored on a 16 yard run to make it 7-7.
The Goblins would go into halftime up 14-7 after Ditmanson hooked up with Cody Glover on a nine yard TD pass in the second period.
The Bombers would answer with a 12 play 70 yard drive capped by a Riley Peters’ one yard touchdown run. A missed extra point left the Bombers trailing 14-13.
Harrison finished out the scoring with a five yard touchdown run by Tanner Edwards.
It was a tough loss but the offensive and defensive lines dominated for the Bombers and problems like the turnovers and seven penalties for 79 yards can be corrected.
The Bombers will look for their first win of the season next Friday night when Nettleton comes to Bomber Stadium.
