Big 3-1 wins over Deering and Falmouth have vaulted Scarborough out of a second-place tie last week into a solo No. 2 standing in the Varsity Maine volleyball poll. Washington Academy drops to third but notched a big win of its own last week, edging fellow Class B contender York 3-2 on Saturday in York.

Scarborough and Washington maintain the first-place votes they received last week. The other seven No. 1s again go to top-ranked Gorham, which won a rematch of last year’s Class A final against Thornton Academy, on Thursday.

Cheverus/Waynflete moved from sixth to fourth, its resume bolster by a 3-0 win over No. 10 Greely. Deering jumps into the rankings at No. 7.
