SCARBOROUGH—On the heels of consecutive losses to regional rivals, Scarborough’s boys basketball team watched uncomfortably as a seemingly safe 18-point advantage was cut to just two by the visiting Gorham Rams Friday evening at Alumni Gymnasium. But the Red Storm didn’t buckle and they got back in the win column, earning a big dose of confidence in the process. Scarborough 63 Gorham 57 G- 15 11 16 15- 57 S- 14 18 22 9- 63 G- Gammon 6-4-16, Brown 3-2-11, Jewett 3-1-9, Levesque 3-0-9, Whitten 3-0-8, Karlonas 2-0-4 S- Fitzgerald 10-1-26, Blanche 6-1-16, MacDonald 4-0-12, Herrick 1-5-7, Garriepy 1-0-2 3-pointers G (10) Brown, Levesque 3, Jewett, Whitten 2 S (12) Fitzgerald 5, MacDonald 4, Blanche 3 Turnovers: G- 12 S- 6 Free throws G: 7-10 S: 7-9 The Rams, the reigning Class AA South champions, held a 15-14 lead after one period, but a 3-point shot from junior Carter Blanche put Scarborough in front to stay and the Red Storm were up, 32-26, at the break, thanks in part to 11 points from junior Adam Fitzgerald and three 3-pointers from junior Will MacDonald.
Fitzgerald then buried four 3s in the third quarter, the last putting Scarborough in front, 54-36, but Gorham crept back within 12 on late 3s from sophomores Preston Brown and Brandon Levesque. The Rams kept scratching and clawing in the fourth period and when Levesque drained a 3-ball from the corner with 1:42 on the clock, the deficit was just two, 59-57, but after junior E.J.
Herrick made one free throw for the Red S.
