The Maine Basketball Rankings Podcast

Ethan Snow is back on the mic for WHOU and he's here to overreact to week 6 of Maine's high school football season. We dig deep into OOB's instant classic win over Lake Region (and how late into the season you can get pier fries and play skee-ball). From there we go around the state, including Bonny Eagle's dominance, Falmouth's chances in a loaded B South, the insanity that is Class C, and so much more.

We also take a look at this week in Class C, the impact of TA's blowout of Portland, Bonny Eagle's defense, the potential Cony/Gardiner battle of unbeatens, and more!

It’s Week 3 of the football season so it’s time to overreact to last weekend’s games and wildly speculate about what they mean going forward. This week, Marc Calnan of Eastern Maine Sports joins me to sift through some overtime games, figure out which teams we can maybe cross off as the playoff picture is starting to emerge in a couple of regions. We also hit some soccer and preview some of the big week 4 matchups and there’s a lot of them. The schedule gods were busy this week. 

Plus: a look at Gardiner’s big win over Wells and Movie Corner!

It’s Week 2 of football season so it’s time to overreact to last weekend’s games! This week, WHOU’s Jarod Richmond joins me  to try and sort out the emerging gauntlet that is Class C, a hopefully more competitive 8-Man Small School South, an impressive start to the season from Cony’s Parker Morin, whether this year’s team is Leavitt or LEAVITT, a side quest into the state of sports broadcasting, Winthrop, Windham, Portland, and so much more.

Darren Allen led Mount Abram to a state title in 2023 and was named the United Soccer Coaches Small Public Schools National Coach of the Year. After a season on the couch, he back on the sidelines, this time rebuilding a Spruce Mountain squad that's newly back playing 11-man after a couple of years in 8-man, and more!

Not that long ago, Medomak Valley didn't have a football team, but that all changed with the start of Medomak Youth Football and the addition of a varsity program 10 years ago. Since then, the Panthers have been at least the Regional Final for the past 3 seasons. I spoke to HC Ryan Snell about how they've built a consistent winner from scratch, why 11-man is better than 8-man, the intersection of wrestling and football, his days at Brewer Witches Athletics, and so much more.

It's the first day of Fall Sports, which means last night was Midnight Madness! I joined Andrew Hart of MaineHighSchoolFootball.com as we counted down the final hour of the hands-off period live from Morse High School.
