1. Thornton 7-1 (Last week: 1)

Trojans face Scarborough, which beat South Portland, which beat Bonny Eagle, which … didn’t beat Thornton, so we’re comfortable casting this vote again.

2. Windham 7-1 (2)

In a theme that’s shared elsewhere with Brunswick and Falmouth, Windham must avenge only loss (Portland) to reach Class A East final.

3. Cheverus 7-1 (3)

Joe Fitzpatrick vs. Dane Johnson is the heavyweight main event in the regional semifinals.

4. Marshwood 9-0 (4)

Wondering when it will get tougher for the Hawks, and hoping for the sake of fans who enjoy close competition that the answer isn’t “next year.”

5. Bonny Eagle 5-3 (5)

Western A semi with Biddeford shows changing face of Maine football. Scots were playing Class B and C schedule when departing Tigers were an A powerhouse.

6. Brunswick 7-1 (6)

Challenge is crystal clear for Dragons: Deal with recent regular-season nemesis Messalonskee, or else.

7. Bangor 6-3 (10)

Rams recovered from the incident that could have destroyed their season in impressive fashion.

8. Portland 6-3 (7)

On the field, Bulldogs have won seven out of eight, with overtime loss to Bangor the lone blemish.

9. Leavitt 8-1 (8)

You know you’re on a roll when you get off to a slow start and still hang 60 on a playoff opponent.

10. Winslow 8-0 (9)

Black Raiders the clear favorite in Class C East, but you can’t sleep on Belfast, Foxcroft or Waterville at this time of year.
