Thornton Academy is still the unanimous No. 1 and Falmouth again received all of the second-place votes in the Varsity Maine boys lacrosse poll. Yarmouth remains No. 3 and Messalonskee is still No. 4. Deering was tied for fifth in last week’s poll, and now is sixth.

Not a lot of changes in this week’s rankings. The only new team to the top six is Scarborough, which moved from a tie for seventh to a fifth, essentially swapping places with Cape Elizabeth.

Two teams joined the rankings this week, Marshwood at No. 8 and Greely at No. 10.


The Varsity Maine boys lacrosse poll is based on games played before May 12, 2026. The top 10 teams are voted on by the Varsity Maine staff, with first-place votes in parentheses, followed by total points.
