11.Masconomet (11-7-0): Two straight losses merely represent a blip in the road for this talented team, but they need a win or two before the postseason starts to get some momentum back.
Last Week: 9

12.Bishop Fenwick (10-6-1): Just missed out on winning the Central Catholic League Small crown, but a win over Peabody in Monday's annual Carlin Cup game would do wonders for their confidence.
