We’re into the last week of the regular season for the 11-man ranks, while the 8-man divisions begin their postseason. Bob Beathem, Bill Libby, Ethan Snow, and David Mosley each went 8-2 in our Week 7 high school football predictions. Chris Lessner currently leads Andrew Hart by two games overall for the top spot, while Beathem is just two games behind Hart in third place. In Week 8, the group believes the Dexter at Houlton playoff quarterfinal will be the most competitive game while Stearns, Cony, and Windham will roll to wins. Other winners include Brunswick, Noble, John Bapst, Hermon, Oceanside, and Belfast. Below is the schedule of games we’re picking and then our Week 8 projections-
