There are only two changes in this week’s Varsity Maine 11-man football poll. The first is that Marshwood and Oxford Hills swapped places and are now fifth and sixth, respectively.
The second change is that South Portland joins the rankings for the first time at No. 10.
Spruce Mountain moves back into the eight-man football top-five after a few weeks away. Stearns/Schenck moved up a spot from last week to third.
Thornton Academy and Yarmouth are still the unanimous No. 1 teams in their respective polls. Both have challenging games on Saturday. The Golden Trojans host No. 3 Portland, while the Clippers travel to Bar Harbor to take on Mount Desert Island.
The Varsity Maine football polls are based on Week 4 games played through Sept. 26. The top 10 11-man and top 5 eight-man teams are voted on by the Varsity Maine staff, with first-place votes in parentheses, followed by total points.
