The Eastern Maine Sports football experts are back for another year of picking high school football games. Chris Lessner is the defending champion, getting by Bob Beatham by one game in 2019. Beatham is a five time champion, while Lessner has won the title twice. Frank Johnson and Nick Coit each won once.
The highlight game of the week featured the defending class D state champions from Lisbon traveling to Foxcroft Academy for a clash with the Ponies. Eastern Maine Sports will have live coverage starting at 5:45 PM.
Our experts think Houlton/Ellsworth, Waterville/Dexter, and Westbrook/Nokomis to be close contests, while everyone has Bangor winning in week one.
