Justin Staires, Mountain Valley

Some guys make our work easy. This is Staires’ second turn with the award, although you could have made a case for him in at least four or five games this fall. The Falcons’ junior halfback/quarterback/kick returner/defensive back rushed for 301 yards – averaging more than 20 a pop – and six touchdowns Friday night. Staires added a seventh score on a 50-yard fumble return in Mountain Valley’s 49-12 rout of York (a possible playoff opponent, by the way). Staires has an arm or legs in 27 Mountain Valley TDs this season.

1. Bonny Eagle 8-0 (Last week: 2)

Scots win Western A bragging rights, for now.

2. Lawrence 8-0 (3)

Everyone else’s No.1. Hey, somebody has to provide the bulletin board fodder.

3. Gorham 7-1 (1)

Couldn’t stop Bonny Eagle QB Nate Doehler.

4. Bangor 7-1 (4)

You can throw out the game tape when Bangor and Brewer get together.

5. Lewiston 7-1 (5)

Eddies made it fun, but Myers, Letourneau and Brooks force defenses to choose their poison.

6. Mountain Valley 8-0 (6)

Let the hype begin.

7. Cape Elizabeth 8-0 (7)

Best part about Cape-MV is that we get to see it twice in the next three weeks.

8. Thornton 7-1 (8)

The X-factor in the Western Class A playoffs.

9. Massabesic 7-1 (9)

Mustangs won’t make it easy for their semifinal opponent, either, if they get that far.

10. Skowhegan 6-2 (10)

Sounds like 20 different guys got to carry the ball against Mt. Blue.
