If you don’t think there’s parity in Maine high school football these days, look at what happened in Week 2.

On Thursday, the state’s longest streak was snapped at 21 games when Leavitt defeated Greely. That left the longest streak at 12 games, and that, too, was broken when Freeport topped Winthrop/Monmouth/Hall-Dale on Friday

So with few teams on long runs, who might be next to go on a tear? Here’s a look at that, and other storylines as we turn the page from Week 2 to Week 3.

With Greely, Winthrop and Westbrook all falling in Week 2, only two teams boast winning streaks longer than three games: Thornton Academy (11) and Stearns (six). Inevitably, though, new streaks are about to start — but by which teams?

Let’s steer clear of Class A, B and D South at the moment. Those regions are loaded with strong teams, but getting out of them unscathed seems like too much of a dogfight. A and D North, meanwhile, look too unpredictable.

So which teams are reliable, strong and boast a manageable schedule? The first place to look might be Class C. Hermon’s schedule sets up nicely to go 6-0 or better. Gardiner and Leavitt face off in Week 6, and a 7-0 start looks quite achievable for the winner.

Another team that fits the bill is Lawrence, which just beat one of the best teams on its schedule in Fryeburg Academy. The Bulldogs are the most experienced team in B North, and if they can beat Skowhegan this weekend and Cony in Week 5, watch out.

In eight-man, look to next week’s Old Town-Old Orchard Beach winner to go on a tear. Maranacook also looks like an eight-man juggernaut and will get its shot at OOB in Week 7. Stearns, meanwhile, returns most of last year’s Small School championship team and might be favored in every remaining regular season game.

Autism Awareness Week has become a staple of the Maine high school football calendar. This year marked the 10th year of the initiative, which has been held in Week 2 every season since 2017.

The initiative is the brainchild of Cony coach B.L. Lippert, whose son, Lincoln, has autism. By Lippert’s count, coaching staffs from 64 of the state’s 78 teams donned red shirts with the text “ACCEPT, UNDERSTAND, LOVE” for their Week 2 games.

At Cony, the initiative is going even further. Rams senior Josh Lajoie, who is in the building construction program at Capital Area Technical Center (attached to Cony High), leads a project to build a sensory room at Fuller Field. Ground has been broken on the 34-feet by 16-feet structure, and the hopes are that it will be completed by spring.

“I think it’s something that’s going to define us at Cony more than wins and losses,” Lippert said. “The messaging about being inclusive, and being inclusive — building this building — those are things that have lasting impacts. It makes me a little emotional thinking about how it’s grown.”

Lippert said funding has been secured for wood, windows and roofing. The program is now looking to raise money for items to go inside the sensory room.

Each year it’s fun to see what matchups produce the longest travel distances. That list is less pronounced this season because the St. John Valley co-op is not competing, but there are still some long hauls — and one game this week tops the list.

When Washington Academy travels to play Traip Academy on Saturday, it will be making the longest jaunt by any team this season. The 534-mile round trip from East Machias to Kittery takes approximately 8 hours, 22 minutes.

It’s the second cross-state trip this year for Washington Academy — the easternmost high school football team in America — which scrimmaged at Telstar (448 miles, 7:50 round-trip) on Aug. 22. Coach Jon Solomon noted that the school’s volleyball team played at York (526 miles, 8:12 round trip) on Saturday.

“The easternmost team playing the (southernmost in Maine), it’s interesting to think about it that way,” Solomon said. “I’ve joked around and told our parents that if you get to Kittery, you can hit up all the outlets when you’re down there. It’ll be a good day.”

Two of the other longest distances this year feature Houlton, which hosts Gray-New Gloucester (488 miles, 7:02 round trip) in Week 4 and travels to Cape Elizabeth (512 miles, 7:36 round trip) in Week 8. In Week 8, Sacopee Valley travels to Stearns (450 miles, 7:06).

In 11-man, two teams can claim the longest trips — one by time traveled and the other by distance. Mountain Valley’s game last week at Mattanawcook Academy was longest in terms of time (5:46), while York at Brewer in Week 5 is the longest by distance (350 miles).
