As a new sports reporter for the Lincoln County Record-Times, I’ve been soaking up pthe energy of our local games, but one question keeps tugging at me: where did the names of our football fields come from?

RICHLAND — The Liberty Christian Patriots steamrolled the Odessa Tigers 50-6 in a 1B nonconference football matchup Friday, Oct. 10, at Richland High School.

Odessa had two special visitors this week - Madison Wade, reporter for King 5's Unsolved Northwest, and Joseph Huerta, an Emmy Award-winning photojournalist who somehow managed to make our small-town office look cinematic.
