Head-to-head: Randy and Lee discuss Edward Little, Lewiston

...Randy: This isn't one of those "throw the records out the window" rivalries in terms of legendary upsets, though there are bound to be a few when you've played 174 times.

It's funny, since I've been doing this, this is about the most lopsided matchup of records. Usually when one is doing well, the other is having a good year, too, and we know recently they've both generally been fighting for a playoff spot late in the season.

EL has distanced itself from everyone, not just Lewiston, in recent weeks. It's true the Eddies have been stuck with a "winning ugly" label since the start, and I'm guilty of that, but that's how they won, for the most part, in the first month. They've been winning in a lot of different ways this season. Last week, they marked "clean" off the checklist.

The thing about the Eddies is the defense is just flat out good and the offense is living up to its potential now that Grant Hartley is on the mark. He struggled a little earlier in the season, but last week against Windham showed what he's capable of with his arm and his legs. He's the most physical quarterback this side of Lucas Francis and the Eddies take their cue from his toughness and confidence. If that keeps up, they'll be at Fitzpatrick Stadium in a month.

SJ Game of the Week: Battle of the Bridge No. 175 has ramifications for both teams

The 175th Battle of the Bridge is already unique in that it is being played on Bates College's Garcelon Field. Chances are something else notable will push that down into the footnotes of Bim Gibson's next book.

The rivalry dates back to 1897, so Friday night's game will be under the microscope from its 7 p.m. kickoff if it wants to stand out in the history books. Lewiston leads all-time, 92-70-12, but EL is riding a two-game winning streak.

If this year's game could match last year's rainy nail-biter, a 22-19 Red Eddies win, it should be noted that most of the same players had roles in a notable series. The Blue Devils and Red Eddies seemed to be closely matched on paper coming into the season and were playing a similar brand of football that combined tough defense with opportunistic offense early in the season.

But a lot has changed in less than a month.

Blue Devils dominate second half, win Battle of Bridge 41-16

...Edward Little, which had 92 more yards of offense than Lewiston in the first half, crossed into Lewiston territory on its last two drives of the first half but couldn't capitalize.

A false start on the opening series of the second half pushed Lewiston back to a 4th-and-6 at EL's 30, but Cortes' pass sailed over the hands of two Red Eddies and into the arms of Landry for a touchdown and a 20-8 lead.

EL once again crossed midfield on its first series of the half but stalled when Maxx Bell was stopped short on 4th-and-6 from Lewiston's 36.

"We made a lot of mistakes, definitely, not to take anything away from (Lewiston). They played a great game," Hartley said.

Landry helped Lewiston pull away with two long punt returns in the fourth quarter, the first setting up his own 14-yard touchdown run and the second setting up Cortes' touchdown pass to Willis.
