Four downs from Portland's 28-13 win over Lansing Sexton

The Portland football team secured a 28-13 victory over Lansing Sexton in their inaugural conference game. Senior running back Carson Spenski was the game's standout player, breaking free for a 52-yard touchdown in the first quarter and later rushing for over 100 yards, including a crucial 12-yard score in the fourth quarter. A key moment occurred when senior quarterback Carson Simon fumbled the snap, but offensive lineman Tristan Pohl recovered, scooping up the ball and sprinting 14 yards for a touchdown.

This play extended Portland's lead to 14-7. In addition to Spenski's explosive performance, the Raiders' defense dominated Sexton, applying constant pressure on the opposing quarterbacks and recording two sacks. Senior Tayin Curtis also sealed the game with an end-zone interception. Despite Sexton's late rally with a 16-yard touchdown from receiver Willie Brown, Portland's dominant performance maintained their winning streak in the CAAC and set the tone for their upcoming match against Olivet.
