Stags get a breather this week against Biddeford before encountering intra-city rivals Portland and Deering.

2. Lawrence (5-0)

Always plenty of fireworks whenever Lewiston visits Keyes Field.

6. Mountain Valley (5-0)

Semi-close call against York should have Falcons re-focused and ready for showdown with Wells.

7. Bangor (4-1)

Rams have topped the half-century mark the last three weeks. Oxford Hills’ solid defense will make them earn a full month of 50s.

8. Brunswick (4-1)

9. Wells (5-0)

Warriors haven’t given up a point in 13 quarters.
