There are a few big games this weekend, starting with Lawrence at Bangor on Friday night.

The Bulldogs and the Rams have played for the PTC A title the last two season, with Lawrence winning each time. Lawrence hasn't lost to Bangor in since 2004, and is 5-0 against the Rams under coach John Hersom.

Also on Friday, Waterville plays at Mt. Desert Island. Waterville is 2-0, MDI is 1-1, and both teams have high expectations this season.

On Saturday night, Winslow plays at Leavitt. Both teams are 2-0. Leavitt boasts the top rushing attack in the league, and will be a tough early season test for the Black Raiders.

My vote in the media poll this week went like this:

1. Bonny Eagle
2. Lawrence
3. Deering
4. Thornton Academy
5. Skowhegan
6. Mountain Valley
7. Massabesic
8. Gardiner
9. Waterville
10. Winthrop

You can see the entire poll in Friday's Morning Sentinel and Kennebec Journal.
