Week 5 recap: Rhode Island high school football Week 5 schedules, scores and stats
Thursday’s Game
Narragansett’s defense locked in after a scoring frenzy in the first 24 minutes.
Trailing, 21-20, to open the second half, the Mariners orchestrated an 11-play drive that saw Jack Giannetto plunge in for a 2-yard touchdown. Narragansett held a 26-21 advantage on the score after the 2-point try was no good.
And that was enough for the Narragansett defense. The Mariners limited Scituate’s star running back, Paul Zolkos (23 carries for 114 yards, 3-yard touchdown rush, 8-yard touchdown rush) in the second half and pitched a shutout. Narragansett added a 37-yard field goal from Alec Hayes with five minutes left in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.
Scituate went 11 plays on the ensuing drive, with a chance to tie in regulation, but the drive stalled out at the Narragansett 24.
Narragansett quarterback, Matt Timpson (11-of 16-for 192 yards, 7-yard touchdown rush) went into victory formation to finish out the contest. Giannetto tallied 17 carries for 85 yards and three catches for 75. Narragansett’s win gives them a bit of bragging rights in Division IV as Scituate entered undefeated.
Sean O’Brien finished 12-of-17 for 144 yards. Travis Howman finished with five catches for 83 yards and a 43-yard touchdown catch. The Spartans haveToll Gate next, while Narragansett hasNorth Smithfield.

Officials host second Washington Bridge demolition update | ABC6
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — State officials hosted another public meeting on the Washington Bridge demolition after receiving criticism that the last meeting was too short.
Gov. Dan McKee and Rhode Island Department of Transportation Director Peter Alviti led the virtual discussion and took questions from the public.
Members of the public asked about demolition debris impacting nearby properties as well as why the decision was made to have the work done at night.
“Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night, Oct. 20 through [Oct. 22] are the last three nights that the contractor is going to be allowed to be doing nighttime hammering activity,” officials said.
It was not revealed who would be named in the lawsuit over the bridge’s failure, nor was their any update on the timeline for that lawsuit.

(VIDEO) “Space Debris” Slams Into Portsmouth, RI Mansion and Ignites Massive Blaze!!! – Newport Buzz
Wow! In a scene reminiscent of a sci-fi thriller, a massive fireball, suspected to be ‘space debris’, crashed into a mansion on Sea Spray Lane in Portsmouth, RI late Tuesday night, igniting a fire that destroyed the home and damaged two neighboring properties.
Surveillance footage from a nearby residence captured the dramatic moment the glowing object fell from the sky and struck the mansion, setting off a blaze that spread rapidly. Although fire crews responded quickly, the mansion was fully engulfed in flames and ultimately destroyed.
No one was injured in the fire.
@newportbuzz A sprawling 9,000 square foot mansion on Sea Spray Lane in Portsmouth caught fire Tuesday night just before 8pm, as firefighters from Portsmouth, Middletown, and Newport race to control the inferno. The massive home, which towers over the exclusive neighborhood, appears to be a total loss, with flames gutting the property in what onlookers are calling a devastating scene. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and so far, there’s no word on any injuries. The home was under construction and vacant at the time of the fire. #portsmouthri #newportbuzz #fire ♬ original sound – Newport Buzz
