Sun Journal Top 10
1. Scarborough (7-1)
Red Storm felt overlooked after early-season loss to Thornton Academy. Five touchdowns in a win over Bonny Eagle got everyone’s attention for the playoffs.
2. Bonny Eagle (7-1)
The health of leading rusher Alex Sprague and leading pass rusher Christian Napolitano will be key to Scots’ ability to bounce back.
3. Thornton Academy (7-1)
Give South Portland an assist for helping the Golden Trojans get this week off.
4. Marshwood (8-0)
Dominant as any team in the state, the Hawks have to be wondering what they’d have to do to get a bye.
5. Kennebunk (7-1)
Marshwood got the best of the Rams in the regular season, but never count out a Joe Rafferty-coached team in the playoffs.
6. Edward Little (7-1)
In the unpredictable A North, Red Eddies hope having a week to recover and regroup will make the difference.
7. Falmouth (6-2)
Much-maligned defense pitched a shutout against a strong Greely team.
8. MDI (7-1)
Trojans missed having three 100-yard rushers by only three yards against their conference’s top defense, Nokomis, last week.
9. Skowhegan (5-3)
Indians have scored 50+ points each of the last three weeks. They scored 40+ in three in a row before that.
10. Wells (10-0)
Good enough to win Class C again. Will anyone challenge them in D?
