1. Thornton (6-0)

Defense has allowed three touchdowns in six games. Yes, against Class A opponents, in the state’s best conference.

2. Lawrence (6-0)

Christian Powers or Lonnie Hackett will be a Fitzpatrick Trophy finalist after tonight …

3. Bangor (6-0)

… and either the Rams or Bulldogs can celebrate home field advantage throughout the Eastern A playoffs.

4. Cheverus (5-1)

Seriously, when is the last time Stags were the best team in Greater Portland, 1985? Sorry to bring back the bad memories, Lewiston fans.

5. Windham (5-1)

And while we’re asking tough questions, when is the last time Bonny Eagle was shut out at home? Probably in the developmental league.

6. Leavitt (6-0)

Hornets sent a loud, distinct message in every phase of the game at Morse.

7. Cape Elizabeth (6-0)

Capers absolutely throttled a very good Wells team that pushed Mountain Valley to the final seconds.

8. Bonny Eagle (4-2)

Believe me, you still don’t want to play the Scots in November.

9. Mountain Valley (6-0)

“Please stop ranking us No. 5,” we were told at the end of a frustrating first half in Greely, one that had already made our decision for us.

10. Foxcroft (6-0)

There’s already a tack designated for these rankings on the bulletin board at Dirigo, where the coaching staff leaves no perceived slight unturned.
