The Thornton Academy Trojans will challenge the Noble Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Thornton Academy comes in on five and Noble on four.
Thornton Academy is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Maine's top teams: Bonny Eagle, who was ranked second at the time (Thornton Academy was ranked first). The Trojans were the clear victors by a 42-21 margin over the Scots on Friday. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by 21 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Noble). They blew past Scarborough 38-0 on Friday. The Knights not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since November 1, 2024 (when they won 41-0).
Thornton Academy's win bumped their record up to 7-1. As for Noble, their victory bumped their record up to an identical 7-1.
Everything came up roses for Thornton Academy against Noble in their previous matchup back in November of 2024, as the team secured a 57-29 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Knights' Jamier Rose, who rushed for 146 yards and a pair of TDs on only 12 carries, and also threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns.
