BOMBERS WIN HOME OPENER

The Cannon Falls Bombers won their home opener 27-14 Friday night over the Winona Cotter Ramblers. The game was much like last year with the Bombers trailing at half time 14-7. The Bombers took control in the second half scoring easily taking a 20-14 lead. A wild 3rd and 4th quarters dominated by penalties and big  plays capped off a good first win for the team. I will have full story and stats of the game to follow.

RED STORM UPDATE

I received a message from the Callister's reporting that Chip wore the RED colors in 1976. Thanks Micki for the correction.

Remember I will tweet the game live at @CFBombers.

RED STORM

Have you heard about the RED STORM coming? The red jerseys are coming back.  The last time the red jersey were worn, if our memory is correct,  was this writers senior year, the 1973 bomber football team. No we didn't wear leather helmets. Our squad posted a 7-2 record. So it is great to see the red jersey take the field again.  If anyone wants to dispute that the reds were last worn in '73 leave a comment for me.

PREVIEW BOMBERS vs RAMBLERS

       The Bombers open up the season at home hosting the Winona Cotter Ramblers.  The game against Cotter last year was a tale of two halves. The Ramblers John Marais threw for 170 yards and the Ramblers had 10 first downs in the first half, but the Bombers defense muscled up and the offense prevailed in the second half, by a run it down your throat mentality. The  Ramblers return 15 seniors to their squad.  New this year the Cotter Ramblers co-op with Hope Lutheran School, it pushes them into class 3AAA. The Bombers will have to stop Marais and his talented receivers again this year.  The addition of Hope Lutheran players will add to the all ready talented Rambler squad. The Bombers will have to move the ball on the ground, winning the time of possession. If they can do that and the defense can run with  the fleet footed Ramblers receivers, and put pressure on Marais,  I think the Bombers will win. My prediction:  Bombers 28   Ramblers 17
