The annual Battle of the Bridge football game took place in Lewiston, ME, on Wednesday. The game features cross-river rivals Lewiston High School and Edward Little High School of Auburn.
It was postponed from last Friday after the tragic and senseless mass killing of 18 people in the city.
Before the game took place, famed singer James Taylor performed the national anthem.
