Gorham didn’t back into the top spot in the Varsity Maine poll. The Rams earned it, beating last week’s No. 1 South Portland 2-1. More importantly, Gorham now tops the Class A South Heal point standings.
South Portland, which is ranked second after three straight weeks at No. 1, drops in the A South standings to fourth, but has a chance to move up with games against No. 4 Cheverus (second in A South) and No. 8 Thornton (third in A South). Gorham also faces Thornton Academy, meaning the Golden Trojans have a chance to gain ground in A South — and the Varsity Maine poll.
Washington Academy joins the Varsity Maine rankings for the first time this spring. The Raiders are one of the state’s last remaining unbeaten teams.
