Eagles showed enough firepower after Dylan Koza’s unfortunate injury at Lewiston to keep the top spot for now.
2. Thornton 1-0 (2)
Trojans’ one hiccup was home loss to Stags in a Class A crossover classic last year. They should be slight favorite this time around.
3. Cheverus 1-0 (3)
Stags didn’t try anything fancy in their opening win over Oxford Hills/Buckfield, but their backfield depth and gang tackling were impressive as ever.
4. Brunswick 1-0 (4)
Forget last week’s scores: The Dragons know going to Keyes Field at Pete Cooper Stadium on a Friday night is no picnic.
5. Portland 1-0 (5)
Bulldogs were authoritative and explosive against a Scarborough team that rated a fair amount of preseason attention.
6. Marshwood 1-0 (7)
Two-touchdown win over Biddeford demonstrated that the Purple Reign in Class B won’t end without a fight this fall.
7. South Portland 1-0 (-)
Red Riots won at Bonny Eagle, which is no easy task. Southern half of Class A might not be a cakewalk for TA, after all.
8. Leavitt 1-0 (6)
Three-week homestand against Morse, York and Marshwood will let everyone know where Hornets stand in their new league.
9. Falmouth 1-0 (-)
Yachtsmen contend for state titles in everything else. Last week’s shellacking of York was a sign they’re finally ready to contend on the gridiron.
10. Winslow 1-0 (10)
Week 1 did nothing to dispel the notion that Class C North is Black Raiders’ for the taking once again.
