Vote: Who should be High School on SI's Maine Football Player of the Week? (9/23/2024)

We’ve selected eight candidates to choose from this past week’s games

Maine high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 4 of the regular season.

As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Maine Football Player of the Week award from September 19-21, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Owen Kelvey, Spruce Mountain

Kelvey only needed three carries to rush for 69 yards and a touchdown in a 68-0 rout of Mount View last week.

The sophomore quarterback led the charge in a 66-6 Madawaska/Fort Kent/Wisdom, as Jewett completed 10-of-15 passes for 118 yards and four touchdowns.

Zeb Foster, Oceanside

Robert Blair, Oceanside

Blair was the other running back for Oceanside that had a huge night against York as the senior rushed for 193 yards on 12 touches and scored three touchdowns.

Despite Francis' effort coming in a loss to Mt. Ararat/Hyde, the senior wide receiver hauled in 10 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns.

The dual-threat quarterback accounted for 334 yards and three touchdowns in Dirigo's 43-22 victory over Mountain Valley.
