Maine High School Football Rankings: Top 25 Teams - Oct. 14

The Maine high school football season has a couple weeks left in the regular season before the playoffs kick off.

Top-ranked Thornton Academy remains the No. 1 team in the state, even after loss to New Hampshire’s No. 4 ranked Bedford. Bonny Eagle remains No. 2 after soundly defeating Portland, 34-7. Who else should be in the Top 25 rankings mix out of the Pine Tree State this week?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here is the latest Maine high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Oct. 14.

1. Thornton Academy Golden Trojans

The Thornton Academy Golden Trojans (5-1) finished with a 10-3 record last season, with two of their three losses were against the Portland Bulldogs. The Trojans made easy work of the Bulldogs last week in a 36-0 romp, a rematch of last year’s Class A state championship game, which the Trojans are on a mission to avenge this fall.

The Trojans kicked off the season with a dominating 44-0 victory over Scarborough, but dropped their first game in a 26-14 loss to Bedford (New Hampshire). Thornton Academy is back in action on Saturday versus Sanford before next week’s major matchup against Bonny Eagle (see below).

2. Bonny Eagle Scots

There’s no more questions on this one: Bonny Eagle (6-0) is so back after finishing below .500 last fall. That has been backed up with four straight victories over Windham, Noble, Oxford Hills Comprehensive and most notably Portland in the last few weeks. In 2024, the Scots had more wins than losses, with their campaign ending in a defeat to Noble in the Maine high school football Class A state quarterfinals. It’s been a half dozen years since Bonny Eagle last won a state title and they’re off to a good start in attempting to snap the streak.

Quarterback Colin Moran has been playing well behind center, throwing for 541 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Bonny Eagle this week faces off against Massabesic before a 1-2 showdown with top-ranked Thornton Academy on Oct. 24.

3. Portland Bulldogs

The Portland Bulldogs (4-2) have lost two straight games after last week’s 34-7 loss to No. 2 Bonny Eagle. Portland ended up falling to Thornton Academy, the very team they defeated for the Class A title last fall, in a 36-0 loss a couple weeks ago.

The Bulldogs feature on offense arguably one of the top players in the state in Maine commit Cordell Jones (503 yards rushing), who accounted for 1,216 all-purpose yards and 18 touchdowns offensively last fall and has transitioned more to the quarterback position for the Bulldogs. 

Portland aims to bounce back against winless Lewiston this week.

4. Noble Knights

Noble (4-1) dropped their first game of the season when they fell in a 18-0 decision against No. 3 Bonny Eagle last week. The Knights had been on a three-game winning streak to start the season, before losing their first game of 2025 to Bonny Eagle. Noble bounced back at home when they defeated Marshwood, 35-27. The Knights made it two wins in a row when they narrowly beat Sanford, 14-7, and look to make it three straight when they take on Keene at home this Friday night.

5. Cony Rams

Making their way into the Top 5 of the rankings this week are the Rams after a 55-0 romp of Skowhegan Area (3-3) last Friday.

One of the top scoring offenses in the state of Maine has been Cony’s, with the unit averaging 47-.8 points per game. Cony will have a chance to finish the regular season with an undefeated season when they take on Lawrence and Gardiner Area, respectively.

The Rams are considered a viable contender for the Class B state championship this fall.
