1. Cheverus 12-0

Rarely has there been a more obvious, undisputed No. 1. The Stags are Jerry Rice. Everyone else is Chad Ochocinco.

2. Wells 12-0

Believed all year that the eventual Class B champion would have been good enough to win Eastern A. Those convictions are stronger than ever after championship Saturday.

3. Leavitt 11-1

Blueprint for beating the Hornets the last two years: Win the battle up front. Sounds simple, but it says volumes about the Hornets that only two teams were able to do it.

4. Lawrence 11-1

Good news for the Bulldogs: They’ll be an odds-on favorite to return to Fitzpatrick Stadium in 2012. Bad news: So will Cheverus.

5 Thornton 9-2

If you watched any part of Saturday’s Class A final, you have to give mad props to any team that could shut out Cheverus in the first half of a regional championship game.

6. Mt. Blue 11-1

Sorry to break it to the rest of PTC ’B,’ but your league will be the Cougars’ and Hornets’ personal playground again next fall.

7. Yarmouth 12-0

Coach Jim Hartman knows there’s some rebuilding ahead. He also knows that the 2010-11 Clippers were one of the greatest Class C teams ever, and you should too.

8. Bangor 8-3

Rams lacked consistency in 2011, but there is no lack of sophomore and junior playmakers itching for 2012 to begin.

9. Mountain Valley 9-2

Falcons tried to warn you about Wells QB Paul McDonough. Kid really, really, really hates to lose.

10. South Portland 7-3

Know how the NFL is better when the Raiders are good? It applies to Maine high school football and the Red Riots.
