SANFORD — The Scarborough Red Storm crashed Sanford’s celebration at brand-new Alumni Stadium on Friday night as the defending state champs cruised to a 41-13 win over the Spartans in front of a packed house.
The beautiful new stadium saw action right off the bat as Scarborough standout Jarett Flaker broke free from the Sanford defense and scampered 49 yards for the score on just the second play of the game.
Flaker breaking tackles and finding the end zone would become a theme on Friday night as the junior would do it three more times before the night was over.

The second TD for Flaker would come with 9:05 left in the first quarter as he scored from 15 yards out to make it 14-0.
Sanford would answer with a score of its own — and it would be one for the record books. Leyton Bickford tossed an 8-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Saucier for the first Spartans touchdown at the new stadium with 3:58 remaining in the opening quarter. Xavier Levine’s extra point was good to make it 14-7.
Unfortunately for the Spartans, that would be as close as it would get as Scarborough scored twice in the second quarter — both runs by Flaker — to extend the lead to 28-7 at halftime.
Tyler Gobeil added a 12-yard TD run and Salvator DeBenedetto scored on a 3-yard run in the second half to put the Red Storm up 41-7.
Sanford fans would have something to cheer for in the fourth quarter as Ethan Guillemette scored on a 4-yard run late in the contest to make it a 41-13 final.
Biddeford 26, Brewer 12
Senior quarterback Carter Edgerton threw for 137 yards and two touchdowns and added 131 rushing yards and one score to help Biddeford open the season with a road win.
Aiden Donovan had 88 rushing yards on 17 carries and David Murphy hauled in four passes from Edgerton for 105 yards and two scores.
Sophomore Ashton Crowell picked off a Brewer pass and took it to the house to round out the scoring for the Tigers on Friday.
