It was a tough way for Middletown to end the season, losing to Exeter-West Greeniwch in the Division IV Super Bowl after beating the Scarlet Knights during the regular season. Still, the Islanders - who ended a decade-plus-long losing streak to rival Portsmouth on Thanksgiving Day - are the top ranked team from Newport County in the state's media poll. Neither Middletown or Portsmouth ever dropped out of the poll, while Tiverton climbed back in late in the season.

Look to the Hawks to return next year as the pre-season favorite to capture Division 1. They are returning a strong nucleus of juniors and look poised to end the run of three consecutive super bowl loses.
