Camden Hills has established itself as the team to beat in Class A North and has earned the top spot in the Varsity Maine girls soccer poll. The Windjammers beat two fellow A North contenders, Brunswick on Thursday and Bangor on Saturday, while outscoring those teams by a combined 18-1. (Camden Hills added a 6-1 victory over No. 6 Mt. Ararat on Tuesday after the polls were voted on.)

Scarborough, ranked first in the fall’s first two polls, is the new No. 2, while Yarmouth remains third and has solidified that ranking by gaining two first-place votes.

Cape Elizabeth joins the top five this week, while Hermon jumped from 10th to seventh.
