Western Class C

No. 5 Cape Elizabeth (6-3) at No. 1 Leavitt (8-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Hornets dominated time of possession on Cape’s turf back in Week 1. The emergence of Nate Rousseau, Adam Poulin and Billy Bedard and the likely return of Conor O’Malley mean they’ll try to do more of the same at Libby Field.

In a monsoon, with a malfunctioning scoreboard, in daylight due to the EEE threat from mosquitoes, Phoenix couldn’t quite hold off the Warriors in the regular-season meeting. You can bet both teams are looking forward to better conditions this time.

Western Class D

No. 4 Dirigo (6-3) at No. 1 Winthrop/Monmouth (9-0)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Ramblers coach Joel Stoneton keeps saying his team hasn’t been tested in over a month, but there’s a reason for it. They’re just that good. Defense has been helping Cougars win the close ones, including last week’s OT thriller with Old Orchard Beach.

Saturday, 12:30 p.m.

Want to bet that Lisbon’s Quincy Thompson plays, even if it’s only in a limited role on defense or special teams? The problem for the Greyhounds is that the Raiders’ Kyle Flaherty and Alex Mace are guaranteed to play, and nobody’s stopped them in a while.

Saturday, 12:30 p.m.

By the time this trip is over, Rams will have traveled well over 1,000 miles to road games this season. Stags might be that far ahead of the pack in Class A.
