1. Scarborough: Last year’s Class A champions lost some key players, but remember that depth? Expect the powerful Red Storm to contend again.

2. Kennebunk: The Rams return 14 players and might be the team to beat in Western Class A.

3. NYA: The Panthers have a smaller team than usual, but the defending Class B champions possess one of the state’s best tandems in senior Lilly Wellenbach and sophomore Molly Strabley.

4. Yarmouth: A senior class of 13 returning players means Coach Dorothy Holt’s team is loaded and ready to go.

5. Cape Elizabeth: The Capers are strong from the net out, with a top goalie, solid defense, good two-way players anchoring the middle and some dangerous shooters on attack.
