1. Cheverus (6-0)

So much for Thornton Academy giving the Stags a mid-term exam. Saturday’s trip to Bangor should at least help keep them from getting stagnant before the playoffs.

2. Bonny Eagle (6-0)

Kevin Cooper’s 200th career victory put the Scots in the driver’s seat in Western A. They can show how firm a grip they have on the steering wheel on Saturday in Saco.

3. Portland (5-1)

Bulldogs continue to make the case that they have the tools to spoil Cheverus’ season.

4. Kennebunk (6-0)

Rams’ opportunistic defense has emerged in recent weeks to complement one of the most balanced offenses in Class B.

5. Marshwood (5-1)

Hawks playing with a purpose since Kennebunk loss.

6. Brunswick (5-1)

Dragons drop in the rankings cushioned by the fact that Messalonskee may be the best 3-3 team north of Scarborough.

7. Cony (5-1)

No surprise Ben Lucas and the Rams’ high-octane offense put up 42 against Hampden Academy, but what should concern Eastern B opponents most is the 0 they put up on the Broncos’ side of the scoreboard.

8. Leavitt (6-0)

Hornets have been tuning up for Friday night’s game with Wells for a month but looking forward to it for a lot longer.

9.South Portland (4-2)

Red Riots have to get over last week’s 58-57 double-OT loss to Scarborough quickly with Biddeford and Portland looming.

10. Waterville (6-0) and Winslow (6-0)

Eastern C co-leaders have to survive tough Week 7 tilts with MDI and Foxcroft, respectively, to make a scintillating Week 8 battle of unbeatens a reality.
