The Bainbridge High School varsity football team fought to a historic 14-3 win against the visiting North Kitsap Vikings in their first outing of the season on Friday, Sept. 6 to claim the Agate Cup trophy — and bragging rights — for the next year.

It was a historic win, the first time in recent memory the Spartans had bested the Vikings in this, their traditional first-game face-off, a beloved local sports tradition.

The Review’s Luciano Marano was there to capture the action. His favorite shots are collected here.
