The regular season is winding down as we now are into Week 16 in our Eastern Maine Sports pick’em contest. Things remain tight at the top of our standings as teams jockey for playoff positioning. Chris Lessner had an 11-5 Week 15 to remain at the top, followed by Jeff Hoak (12-4) who won the week and is four back leapfrogging into second over Marc Calnan (9-7), who drops into third a game behind Hoak. Anthony DelMonaco (11-5) is just a game behind Calnan, and Cassidy Lessner (10-6) sits in fifth position.
