Bob Beatham, Andrew Hart, and Lucas McNelly all went 9-1 in Week 9 of the Eastern Maine Sports high school football picks. The group would go 8-2 vs the consensus. Aaron Howard is trying to hold off the field, as he sits in first place overall by two games over Beatham and Brian Salsbury. Michael Savage is just three games back.
This week we have all classes in the postseason, as Classes A and C join the fun. The 8-man divisions are into their regional finals.
