Spartans Beat Kipp Sunnyside

The Scarborough football team won its first game since 2009 on Friday night.  The Spartans knocked off Kipp Sunnyside 18-14 to end a 59-game losing streak.  The team's last win before Friday was registered over Austin on September 10, 2009.

Spartans Heading to Corpus Christi Area this Season

After its successes last season, the Scarborough Spartans basketball team is apparently a hot item. The Spartans have been invited to play in the Gregory-Portland Tournament from December 10-12. Gregory-Portland is located in the Corpus Christi vicinity.  This distant location means that for the first time in a long time, the Spartans will be staying on the road during a tournament.

A road tournament results in the added expense of hotels and more, so a Go Fund Me account was set up by a fan of the team to help pay for this road trip.  As you can see here, the necessary $1800 was raised quickly by Spartan supporters. (NOTE: The goal has been raised since the first goal was met.)

Fans can still contribute and support the Spartans 2015-16 season.  According to Coach Martin Wall, additional funds are still needed for the rest of season.  The team is also scheduled to play tournaments in Hempstead and Royal.
