Cony (1-0) at Mt. Blue (0-1)

Edward Little (0-1) at Messalonskee (0-1)

The Red Eddies take to the road against a Class B school after opening the season against possibly the state’s best team last week, Bonny Eagle. The Eagles narrowly lost to Noble in their season opener.
Gray-New Gloucester (0-1) at Sacopee Valley (0-1)
Friday, 7 p.m.
The Patriots played close in a loss to Lake Region last week, while the Hawks were shut out against Old Orchard Beach. Gray-NG’s lone win two years ago came on the road in Week 2 last year, so maybe history will repeat itself for the Patriots.

Sanford (0-1) at Oxford Hills (1-0)
Friday, 7 p.m.
The Vikings looked good in their season-opening win against Lewiston, while the Spartans lost big against powerhouse Thornton Academy. Oxford Hills coach Mark Soehren cautioned that Sanford is a different style opponent than Lewiston, so his team will have to be ready.
Spruce Mountain (0-1) at Dirigo (0-1)
Friday, 7 p.m.
Both teams will be looking for their first regular-season victories in eight-man football. The Cougars are still looking for their first points after getting shut out by Boothbay last week.
Boothbay (1-0) at Telstar (1-0)
Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

Lewiston (0-1) at Bangor (1-0)
Saturday, 7 p.m. (at Hampden Academy)
The Blue Devils should welcome back starting running back Eli Bigelow, and they finally have a normal week of practice under their belts after COVID threw a wrench into their preseason and Week 1 preparations. But they travel to face a Rams team that just routed rival Brewer in their season opener.
