Two programs with a recent championship pedigree, now conference rivals, should get the weekend off to a competitive start.

Lawrence (1-0) at Mt. Blue (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Couldn’t get this game arranged a year ago, no matter how much fans (and sportswriters) begged. Faces have changed, but Bulldogs RB Ethan Powers and Cougars QB Andrew Pratt quickly stepped in and ensured no decrease in star power.

Winthrop/Monmouth (1-0) at OOB (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

New-look Ramblers showed that their numbers add up in impressive opening win over Lisbon. Best Seagulls team in many years should supply a stern road test.

Mountain Valley (0-1) at Lake Region (0-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Falcons historically have dominated this series, but their youth may give the Lakers a more level playing field.

Cape Elizabeth (0-1) at Poland (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Missing persons and turnovers sabotaged Knights’ offense in Week 1, but defense stood tall. Capers arrive battle-tested after standing toe-to-toe with Leavitt.

Sanford (1-0) at Oxford Hills (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Vikings’ triple option kept its momentum and confidence rolling from last season into this one. Here’s a chance to see how it matches up against a traditional Western Class A club.

Windham (1-0) at Edward Little (0-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Eddies proved at Bangor they’ll be no pushover this season. QB Ian Mileikis already emerging as one of the most exciting players in Class A.

Freeport (0-1) at Gray-NG (0-1)

Poster game for one of the things reclassification was designed to accomplish: Giving up-and-down, developing programs a chance to pick on some teams their own size.

Spruce Mountain (1-0) at Wells (1-0)

Friday, 5:15 p.m.

Phoenix looked every bit the part of a Western Class C sleeper in rout of Freeport. Time-honored Class B power Warriors clearly are a litmus test.

Oak Hill (1-0) at Dirigo (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Your Class C game of the week, featuring the third Raiders-Cougars meeting in a little over 300 days. Challenge remains the same for Dirigo, which can’t let Oak Hill grind it out and play keep-away.

Telstar (0-1) at Boothbay (1-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

It has taken a few years and a couple of coaching changes, but the Seahawks appear headed back to their playoff-contending ways of the 1990s and 2000s. Rebels keep building their foundation.

Lewiston (0-1) at Cheverus (1-0)

Saturday, 12:30 p.m.

Last time Devils played here, it wasn’t called Boulos Stadium, and John Wolfgram hadn’t been there to work his magic yet. Lewiston needs to avoid opening-night ailments and keep its best athletes on the field for this to be a fair fight.

Lisbon (0-1) at Sacopee Valley (0-1)

Saturday, 1:30 p.m.

Greyhounds traditionally get up to full speed by the third week. Trip to South Hiram to face the developing Hawks is likely to start that process six days early.
