In Week 11 of our Eastern Maine Sports High School Football expert picks- Chris Lessner, Bob Beatham, Ethan Snow. Tyler Krusz, Chris Popper, and Aaron Howard led the way by each going 9-1. Lessner has the overall lead, Beatham and Andrew Hart are each 3 games behind Lessner. Hart is eliminated. Lessner will clinch with a Portland, Kennebunk, or Foxcroft win on state championship Saturday. Beatham needs Thornton, Kennebunk, and Wells to win and to win the points tiebreaker.
