The Mountain Home High School football team had another tough road trip on Friday. The Bombers went to Warrior Field and suffered a 45-13 loss to Little Rock Christian, the fifth-ranked team in Class 5A by the Arkansas Sports Media.
The Warriors scored the first two touchdowns, one in each of the first two quarters. Mountain Home cut the margin back to seven just over a minute later on a run by Jacob Chenowith. Christian got back in the end zone with less than a minute left in the half. The Bombers responded with big plays and the Warriors being penalized. Mountain Home was able to get a field goal just before halftime, and they went into the locker room down 11.
The second half couldn’t have started much worse for the Bombers as they went three-and-out inside their own 10, and Christian scored on their next possession. The Warriors went on to outscore Mountain Home 24-3 behind the ground game of Ronny Anokye and Aiden Sansom in the second half on their way to a 32-point victory.
Chenowith had 10 carries for 43 yards for the Bombers. Cade Yates completed eight passes on 22 attempts for 102 yards, Jett Hannaford had three catches for 49 yards, and Brady Barnett added three receptions for 41 yards. For Christian, Ronny Anokye had 25 carries for 203 yards and two touchdowns, Sansom had nine rushes for 89 yards, and Walker White was 12-of-18 passing for 90 yards and two touchdowns.
Mountain Home falls to 0-7 on the season and 0-5 in the 6A-West. The Warriors improve to 4-2 and 2-2.
The Bombers’ next game will be in two weeks when they host Siloam Springs for homecoming.
