Friday Night Lights: Portsmouth Looking For Another Division Victory

The Portsmouth Patriots football team gets back to things this Friday night as they take on fellow Division I team East Providence. The Pirates are 4-2 and third in their division, behind Hendricken and Barrington.

Friday's game kicks off at 7 p.m. at Portsmouth High School.
 

Holding court on the top of the state’s rankings for the Rhode Island High School Football Media Poll are Hendricken and Barrington respectively. However, that may change after this weekend as both teams face off against each other on Friday night. Can the Eagles oust the Hawks?
