The only bad news for the Bulldogs: It is tough to stay sharp for the playoffs when you win consecutive games by a combined score of 124-0. 2. Thornton 6-1 (2) Trojans haven’t been tested in a while, either, but Bonny Eagle should take care of that this week. 3. Cheverus 5-2 (3) Stags’ defeated […]

H.S. Football Top 10: Windham, Thornton continue to separate themselves from pack
1. Windham 2-0 (1) You can count the teams who have beaten Bangor 42-0 in the past two decades on less than one hand, certainly. 2.
