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 5 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 26-28, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Zeb Foster, Oceanside

Without a doubt one of the top performances of the weekend came from Foster, who rushed for 338 yards on 20 carries and scored six touchdowns in a 52-32 win over Brewer.

Louis Thurston, Portland

The Bulldogs' quarterback had himself a night in the team's 56-0 win over Lewiston, completing 8-of-9 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns.

Tatum Doucette, Messalonskee

The junior signal caller led the way in Messalonskee's 13-6 victory over Gardiner, with Doucette totaling 190 all-purpose yards.

Hudson Lufkin, Dirigo

Lufkin had arguably his best game of the season in a 40-0 win over Madison/Carrabec/Valley, completing 17-of-25 passes for 260 yards and five touchdowns.

Colin Moran, Bonny Eagle

Moran had an efficient night despite being on the losing end of a 35-12 loss to Thornton Academy, completing 12-of-20 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

Marcello Mousally, Hampden

No one was flying around the field making tackles like Mousally was in their game against Medomak Valley. Mousally finished with a game-high 20 tackles.

Sal Wise, Orono

The senior wide receiver was the top pass catcher for Orono in their loss to Stearns/Schenck last week, hauling in eight passes for 75 yards.
