November 4, 2022
Jaelen Jackson rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another, and the third-seeded Red Riots (7-3) beat the second-seeded Mustangs (7-3) in a Class A South semifinal in Waterboro.
South Portland took the lead less than three minutes into the game when Jackson plowed in from the 5, then rushed for the conversion after a Massabesic penalty.
Jackson’s 11-yard pass to Nolan Hobbs in the second quarter made it 15-0.
Massabesic quarterback Collin Scully scored on a 5-yard run in the third quarter, but South Portland stopped the 2-point conversion attempt.
The Red Riots fumbled the ball away deep in Massabesic territory twice in the fourth quarter, but the Red Riots held on downs after the first fumble and picked off a Scully pass after the second. The interception led to a 1-yard TD run by Jackson with about 2 minutes remaining.
