OAKLAND — Jacob Sullivan returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown and Jake Littlefield broke off a 65-yard scoring run on the second play of the second half, sparking Kennebunk to a 32-7 win over Messalonskee in a Class B crossover game Friday night.

Littlefield, a senior fullback, rushed for a pair of touchdowns.

Kennebunk, which played for the Class B state championship last season, improved to 2-0. Messalonskee, which beat reigning state champ Brunswick in its opener, fell to 1-1.

“That’s a good team. That’s a veteran team, and they’re very good in the front seven and front eight on offense and defense,” Messalonskee Coach Brad Bishop said. “I’m not discouraged. … Sometimes you have to take your lumps and move on. That’s what we have to do.”

Kennebunk jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter, thanks to a 3-yard run from Cam Lovejoy and Littlefield’s 6-yard TD run.

Tyler Lewis broke off a 44-yard touchdown run to pull Messalonskee to within 12-7, but it took just 12 seconds for the Kennebunk to respond. Sullivan, a freshman, took advantage of good blocking and some sizable holes to race virtually untouched to the end zone.

THORNTON ACADEMY 55, DEERING 12: CJ LaBreck caught three touchdown passes and returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown to lead the Golden Trojans (2-0) over the Rams (0-2) in Saco.

Deering cut its deficit to 14-6 on an 84-yard pass from Keegan Stanton to Jack Lynch, but Thornton’s Grant Dow scored twice on short runs to make it 28-6 at halftime.

WESTBROOK 25, BREWER 22: Defensive end Nick Batchelder intercepted a pass and ran it back 25 yards for the decisive touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Blue Blazes (1-1) beat the Witches (1-1) in Westbrook.
