It was a tough week for local teams, as both Middletown and Tiverton suffered losses. For the Islanders, it their first loss of the season and the poll reflects that. They dropped from No. 7 to No. 17. For the first time this season, Tiverton fell out of the Top 20. Portsmouth, meanwhile, moved up three spots to No. 9 after handling Cranston West.

What do you think the final pairings for the D1 playoffs and Superbowl will be?
If the season ended today, it would be La Salle, Hendricken, East Providence and Barrington. Portsmouth is one game out of the final spot right now and needs help.
The Patriots might get that help on Nov. 14, when Hendricken plays at East Providence. Remember, Portsmouth has the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Hawks.
That's really the only chance Portsmouth has, because they lose the tiebreaker to other three teams.
In my humble opinion, I think it'll be Barrington and La Salle again, and it'll again be the Rams winning.
For what it's worth, I think La Salle will host EP and Hendricken will host Barrington. This week La Salle will beat Barrington and next week Hendricken will beat EP giving them to the top two seeds. I believe La Salle and Hendricken will meet in the playoffs and Hendricken will beat La Salle making it three consecutive victories over La Salle in the playoffs.
