MCI edged Mattanawcook 27-25 in the tightest matchup, followed by Falmouth's 22-18 decision over Westbrook and South Portland's 20-13 win at Scarborough.
In the Crabtree standings, Bonny Eagle climbed from third to first in Class A South after improving to 3-0. Lawrence moved to second in Class B North at 3-0, while Hermon reached the top of Class C with a perfect record. Westbrook and Brunswick both fell in their respective divisions after losses.
