Vote: Who should be High School on SI's Maine Football Player of the Week? (9/18/2024)

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 3 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 12-14, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sep. 22nd. The winner will be announced in the following week's poll. Here are this week's nominees:

Dash Farrell, Mt. Ararat/Hyde

In a 30-20 victory over Lake Region, Farrell was terrific. The running back carried the ball 30 times for 239 yards and three touchdowns.

Gavin Monyok, Hampden

Monyok was dealing in Hampden's 24-14 win over John Bapst Memorial, completing 16-of-25 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown.

Jack Brewer, Orono

It's going to be hard to keep Brewer off this list at the pace he's at. The quarterback completed 12-of-21 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns in a 46-6 romp of Mount Desert Island.

Cordell Jones, Portland

Jones had a second straight week in which he ran wild, this time in a 29-7 win over Windham. The running back rushed for 125 yards on 17 carries and scored three times.

Tatum Doucette, Messalonskee

Whether it was throwing or running the ball, Doucette got it done. The dual-threat quarterback accounted for 191 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in a 35-34 win over Hermon.

Adam Gammon, Mountain Valley

Not many had the kind of night that Gammon had for Mountain Valley. The senior running back rushed for 111 yards on just six touches and scored four times in a 42-6 win over Maranacook.

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.

Zeb Foster, Oceanside

Despite in a losing effort, Foster accounted for 133 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in a 30-14 loss to Foxcroft Academy.
