For the first time this century, the South Portland Red Riots can claim a win over rival Portland.
The Riots (3-5) got the win in the 92nd playing of the so-called “Battle of the Bridge” against the Bulldogs (1-7), outscoring Portland 27-6 at Fitzpatrick Stadium to get the Riots’ first win against the Bulldogs since 1999 and the team’s 51st in the series, which began in 1907.
South Portland put the game away in the first half behind the efforts of Ryan Curit, who finished the game with just under 160 yards on the ground and three touchdowns, with all the scores coming in the first half.
Curit got his first score on his first rushing attempt of the game, after the Riots’ Nick Gaddar returned a punt to the Bulldogs’ 18, Curit broke through the line and headed into the end zone. Curit added a one-yard score on the Riots’ next drive.
South Portland got its third touchdown with just over five minutes remaining in the half when quarterback David Hardison hit Gaddar for a 48-yard score to make the score 20-0.
Curit made the game 27-0 late in the half when he busted through the Bulldogs’ defense for a 43-yard touchdown.
