Edward Little at Lawrence

Friday, 7 p.m.

Too early to say the losing team has an uphill climb to make the playoffs? Not when only four teams make it.

Mt. Ararat at Lewiston

Friday, 7 p.m.

Might not be a great game, but it’s a great chance to watch two backs who can flat-out fly: The Eagles’ McKenzie Gary and the Blue Devils’ Jeff Turcotte.

Skowhegan at Oxford Hills

Friday, 7 p.m.

How highly regarded is new Vikings coach Paul Withee? Oxford Hills, with two total wins in three seasons, is probably considered a slight favorite here.

Hampden at Leavitt

Friday, 7 p.m.

Call them contentious, but don’t call these teams “rivals” unless you’re applying the same label to hammer vs. nail. Hornets have owned the Broncos.

Westbrook at Mtn. Valley

Friday, 7 p.m.

Wonder if the Blue Blazes will see parallels to Dante’s Inferno after their first-ever journey to Hosmer Field.

Brewer at Mt. Blue

Friday, 7 p.m.

New class (B). New, temporary stadium (Kemp Field). Familiar opponent and probably a familiar result for the loaded Cougars.

Spruce Mtn. at Greely

Friday, 7 p.m.

New to Class B, Phoenix may like this matchup better in football than they will in some other sports.

Gray-NG at Falmouth

Friday, 7 p.m.

Patriots looking for a positive spin as they build their pigskin program, so here’s one: No matter what happens, it’s a short trip.

Freeport at Dirigo

Friday, 7 p.m.

Start a pool on who scores the Cougars’ initial touchdown under the lights. Maybe the second, third and fourth touchdowns, too.

Poland at Sacopee Valley

Friday, 7 p.m.

We’d say finally the Knights get to pick on people their own size in Class C, but the Hawks (19 players) don’t yet fit that description.

Winthrop at Telstar

Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

Telstar won its last varsity game against Maranacook. In overtime. In 1981.

Lisbon at Oak Hill

Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

Has it ever not been 95 degrees when these neighbors played one another?
