Alex Crain scored on runs of 69 and 66 yards in the first half, and returned a kick 90 yards for another touchdown to lead the Bainbridge Spartans past the visiting Salisbury Sabres 41-18 on Friday night.
Salisbury, from Alberta, Canada, spent Thursday in Seattle site-seeing, and had dinner with Spartans on the Island. The Sabres are going to today’s Washington-Nebraska game.
Salisbury normally plays Canadian rules — they use 12-men on the field, play on a longer field and have unlimited motion on offense.
“It probably hurt them to play our rules,” Bainbridge coach Andy Grimm said. “But we did a good job.”
For the Spartans (3-0), it was a final tuneup before they step in Metro League play next week against Bishop Blanchet.
Quarterback Carson Zajonc connected with Chris Bell for an 18-yard scoring play, and Chris Miller and Corey Touchette scored rushing touchdowns.
Grimm’s unofficial statistics had Crain with 157 yards on four carries.
