Marlborough's continued solid play was enough for it to capture the top spot in our coaches poll for the first time.

The Panthers won their three games last week by a combined score of 12-1, and look like a team that can win a state championship. Last week's No. 1 Algonquin didn't exactly slow down either, scoring a pair of pivotal victories over league foe Nashoba and St. John's.

Now, without further ado, here are this week's rankings.

1. Marlborough (12-2-2)
2. North (13-2-0)
3. Algonquin (12-1-2)
4. Groton-Dunstable (10-2-3)
5. Sutton (12-1-1)
6. Millbury (13-1-1)
7. Nashoba (10-3-3)
8. Grafton (10-2-2)
9. Wachusett (6-6-3)
10. Bromfield (8-2-4)

Game of the Week: Groton-Dunstable at Marlborough

This game pits perhaps the region's best player against what may be the region's best team. Groton-Dunstable's Nate Pomeroy has a scorers touch, but isn't afraid to get his teammates involved. If Groton-Dunstable is to pull off the upset of the Panthers, Pomeroy will have to elevate his play, and the play of everyone on his team.

Player to Watch: Tyler Morin, Algonquin

Morin is coming off a two goal performance against St. John's, and the talented attacker also notched a goal in Algonquin's critical victory over Nashoba. There will be little time to rest for Morin and his Tomahawk teammates, as Thursday brings another duel with the talented Chieftains.
