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 2 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 5-7, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. - SBLive Sports

Louis Thornton, Portland

The Bulldogs opened up the season with an impressive win and performance from Thornton. The signal caller finished completing 8-of-9 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns.

Kaysen Wildman, Hampden

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound outside linebacker was a tackling machine in Week 1’s 32-21 victory over Skowhegan. Wildman finished with a team-high 17 tackles.

Paired up with Farrell in the backfield was Doughty, who had himself a huge night as well running the ball. The running back rushed for 154 yards on just five carries and scored three times.
