1. Cheverus (9-0)
Quarterfinal crisis averted, the Stags appear to be the prohibitive favorites in Class A…
2. Bonny Eagle (8-1)
Unless you believe defense wins championships, in which case, the Scots have the edge.
3. Bangor (8-1)
They were fine without him last week (six interceptions), but the Rams will need Joe Seccareccia back on defense at some point.
4. Leavitt (9-0)
If anyone wants to create an award for the most unsung player in Maine, Jake Ouellette would make a pretty strong candidate.
5. Mountain Valley (9-0)
Some defenses swarm to the ball. Falcons storm to the ball.
6. Scarborough (8-1)
If you go into Waterhouse and beat Biddeford by 34 points, you deserve to move up two spots in the rankings.
7. Lawrence (8-1)
For the second year in a row, Brunswick was the Bulldogs’ kryptonite.
8. Deering (7-2)
Rams’ not-so-secret weapon against Bonny Eagle will be senior QB Jamie Ross, a three-year starter. Experience at the QB position is tough to beat.
9. Lewiston (7-2)
Blue Devils can be a scary team when they have something to prove.
10. Mt. Blue (7-2)
Cougars eager to show embarrassing 39-7 loss to Bangor was a fluke.
