Our Communities. Our Teams. Our Future.
We’re proud to make high school sports coverage free for everyone—because these moments matter. At Maine State Credit Union, we’re here for the people and places that make Maine strong. Let’s Go! Learn more at mainestatecu.org. 

1. Greely: The Rangers are stocked with pitching and hitting from a team that lost 1-0 in last year’s Class B state final. Greely is a heavy favorite to go all the way this season. Liam Maker was an all-conference selection at third base after hitting .420 with 15 RBI and 23 runs. Jonah Normandeau and Bailey Train are top pitchers.

2. Cheverus: The Class A defending state champion is well-stocked to make a run at a second straight title. Pitchers Louie DiStasio and Harry Ridge give the Stags a strong combination. Both are excellent hitters. DiStasio will play short and Ridge will play first when not pitching. The Stags’ biggest need is at catcher, but they have several candidates.

3. Scarborough: The Red Storm have arguably the best pitching in the Telegram League, with proven starters in Ben Wessel, Joe Cronin and Ben Greenberg. They all play elsewhere when not pitching. Wessel and Cronin are Division I scholarship athletes at Rhode Island and Boston College. For everything to come together, Scarborough will have to improve upon last season’s .240 average.

4. Marshwood: The Hawks are another team loaded with pitching and talent. Seniors Luke Fernandes, Jack Verrill and Troy Pappas rate with any other team’s top three pitchers. Marshwood reached the regional semifinals a year ago and with nine players who were starters at one point last season, it could challenge for a state title this season.

5. Portland: The Bulldogs should rebound from last season’s 6-10 record and become one of the top teams in the Telegram League. The Bulldogs are still young with only one senior, but the juniors and sophomores gained a lot of experience between high school and Legion ball. Nate Smart, a junior, gives the team another strong pitcher and hitter.

6. Westbrook: The Blue Blazes graduated a lot of talent from a team that lost in the regional final last season. Still, there’s enough talent back from last year’s team and also players from the New England Junior Legion champions to make Westbrook a playoff team. Center fielder Joe Quinlan and first baseman Sam Stauble are three-year returning starters.

7. Thornton Academy: The Golden Trojans have two top pitchers in Jeff Gelinas and Dillon Dunbar who can also hit and play the field. Jack Kenney adds to the pitching depth and the offense. The team will need to replace the offense that was lost with the graduation of some good hitters. Still, the team should make the playoffs again.

8. Windham: The Eagles are young but talented. They’ve looked good in preseason games. To go with Cody Dube, one of the league’s top pitchers and positional players at shortstop, Windham has Matt McLean, Robbie Hamilton, and Joe and Shawn Francoeur. Windham should be much improved.

9. Falmouth: The Yachtsmen graduated a couple of key players, but they have five starters returning who gained valuable experience last season. The team has plenty of pitching depth and should be strong defensively. Those qualities should keep Falmouth in contention. Addison Foltmer and Nick Spencer look to be the leading candidates to emerge as the No. 1 starter.

10. Biddeford: A playoff team a year ago, the Tigers could be back in the playoffs again under first-year coach Keith Leblanc. Offensively, the team should be pretty strong. It’s the pitching that could be a question mark.
