Gap between Golden Trojans and everyone else just seems to widen every week.

Red Storm secured second bye week in a month with win over Bonny Eagle.

3. Kennebunk (8-0)

Rams earned home field advantage in B South playoffs thanks to Ryan Connors’ field goal. But last year taught them a rematch in the regional final hardly guaranteed.

4. Marshwood (7-1)

Hawks would probably settle for another low-scoring game with Kennebunk, if they get a rematch.

Even with a bye and the Thanksgiving game moved to Deering, the Bulldogs could still have three more games at Fitzpatrick Stadium.

Raiders didn’t allow more than seven points to anyone over final seven games.

More vulnerable than last year? Perhaps. But Warriors have handled the weight of expectations just as well as they did last year, if not better.

9. Bonny Eagle (5-3)

Forfeit by quarterfinal opponent South Portland won’t do anything for Scots’ momentum or confidence as it rides three-game losing streak into playoffs..

10. (Tie) Leavitt & MCI (7-1)

Hornets earned C South top seed thanks to tougher schedule. Huskies dominated C North after falling to Hornets Week 1.
