1. Bonny Eagle

Until further notice, Scots have earned benefit of the doubt.

2. Deering

Rams rebuilding in spots, but tradition reigns.

3. Lawrence

Bulldogs’ reign has become vicious cycle for rest of PTC.

4. Lewiston

Could be the Blue Devils’ best team in 15 years.

5. Cheverus

John Wolfgram’s rebuilding project gains ground every year.

6. Mountain Valley

Little high for a team that lost Staires and Laubauskas. Go ahead, Western B: Prove it wrong.

7. Skowhegan

Reigning Eastern Class A champs committed to what they do, and they do it well.

8. Leavitt

Josh Strickland could be the top individual talent in Class B.

9. Morse

Defense remains the calling card for the reigning kinds of Eastern B.

10. Bangor

When in doubt, Rams are a safe pick. Probably due for a bounce-back year, too.
