1. Cheverus (2-0) (Last week: 2)
Eight quarters without giving up a touchdown to start the season. Not bad.
2. Thornton (2-0) (3)
Let’s see: Thornton beats South Portland, 47-6. South Portland beats Bonny Eagle, 21-14. I can do that math.
3. Bonny Eagle (1-1) (1)
Don’t read too much into that loss, yet. Sometimes reigning state champions take advantage of an early-season wakeup call.
4. Brunswick 2-0 (4)
You can’t diminish the Dragons’ early regular-season schedule, either. Not after Brewer beat Cony.
5. Windham 2-0 (5)
Eagles might not have that Bangor or Cheverus mystique, in some minds, but recent Class A title tradition says otherwise.
6. Marshwood 2-0 (6)
Hawks’ potent offense gets the headlines, but they’re the only team in Maine to play two games without surrendering a point.
7. Bangor 2-0 (7)
Dane Johnson might rush for 3,000 yards at this rate.
8. Lawrence 2-0 (-)
Back-to-back building years for the Bulldogs? Guess again.
9. South Portland 1-1 (-)
You knock off No. 1, you get some love the next week. Simple as that.
10. York 2-0 (8)
Wildcats struggled with Kennebunk after Rams lost at Fryeburg. Won’t get away with such a hiccup against for-real Falmouth.
