1. Thornton 3-0 (2)

We’re not afraid to admit when we’re wrong, and Trojans are the clear No. 1 after Windham’s inability to reach end zone last week.

2. Portland 3-0 (3)

Bulldogs have two of the top running backs in Class A North, but their defense has been the story the past two weeks.

3. Windham 2-1 (2)

Eagles still finding offensive identity after Koza injury. Houser and Jacobsen capable of getting them on another roll.

4. Brunswick 3-0 (5)

Dragons usually get a battle from Messalonskee. Will Bessey vs. Jack Bernatchez battle of top-notch tailbacks will be fun to watch.

5. Leavitt 3-0 (7)

Hornets know they won’t get away with five turnovers and nine penalties against Class B chanpion Marshwood, even at home.

6. Brewer 3-0 (9)

Witches honored their 2005 state championship team last week. Class B and years that end in ‘5’ seem to suit them just fine.

7. Cheverus 2-1 (-)

Which was the greater overreaction: Dropping Stags from the list after 57-0 loss to TA, or vaulting them this high after 68-16 rout of Lewiston?

8. Falmouth 3-0 (8)

Imagine being transported to 1993 and telling some old-timer that Yachtsmen would have a football program and beat Biddeford someday.

9. Skowhegan 3-0 (10)

Brewer’s visit probably biggest game at Reggie Clark Memorial Field since 2008 for resurgent Indians.

10. South Portland 2-1 (4)

This is an “at full strength” vote. If they’re decimated by disciplinary problems, Riots can’t compete with Class A elite.
