Vote: Who should be High School on SI’s Maine Football Player of the Week? (11/12/2024)
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 the state playoffs portion of the season.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Maine Football Player of the Week award from Nov. 8-9, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.
In a wild 56-50 victory over Orono, Ervin went absolutely nuts on the ground. The running back rushed for 487 yards on 44 carries and scored seven touchdowns for Houlton/Hodgdon/Southern Aroostook/Greater Houlton Christian Academy.
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
Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:
The Trojans’ running back could not be stopped in Thornton Academy’s 36-12 win over South Portland, scoring four rushing touchdowns.
Thurston was an all-around offensive menace in the Bulldogs’ 42-14 victory over Windham in the playoffs. The quarterback accounted for 196 yards and three touchdowns.
The Noble running back led the way in its 28-24 win over Bonny Eagle, rushing for 101 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown.
Johnson was truly the difference maker in the team’s 22-14 victory over Lewiston, ending the game with three rushing touchdowns on the night.
We’re going to recognize a special teamer this week in Deering place kicker Tavian Lauture. The kicker knocked down two field goals in a 21-0 win over Massabesic.
The Lawrence signal caller was terrific in a 28-18 victory over Cony last week, with Hamlin throwing multiple touchdowns in the win.
Fryeburg Academy left no doubt in a blowout win over York last week, rushing for three touchdowns in the victory.
Daigle made all the difference in a 27-20 victory over Cape Elizabeth last week, picking off two passes.

CLIFTON, Maine (WABI) – Maine Maple Sunday is less than two weeks away, and the Williams Family Farm in Clifton is gearing up for one of the sweetest seasons yet.
A long stretch of frost and snow meant a late start this year, but the first boil of sap has finally run through the evaporator, and maple season is officially underway.
At Williams Family Farm, everything is done by hand:
- Fresh maple syrup, bottled on-site
- Maple sugar, carefully extracted in small batches
- Baked candied pecans, cashews, and more
The Williams family has spent years working with whatever weather sends their way.
Long winters, surprise warmups, and everything in between—they’ve learned how to adapt so community members can enjoy their products.
As co-owner John Williams explains, the key is in the temperature.
“You need to have it warm during the day and still freezing at night, so typically that’s the middle of February,” said Williams. “We have a lot of trees, so we have to start tapping them before the conditions are ideal, so we start tapping way before it’s time for it to run just so we can get them all tapped. If you have ten trees in your backyard, you want to wait until roughly now, the middle of February to now, and when it’s actually running and put them in then because you can put all your taps in, in one day.”
They’re excited to welcome the community during Maine Maple Weekend on March 21 and 22.
They will be boiling up sap, hosting demonstrations, and providing free samples.
Locals can also join them for their third annual pancake breakfast where all proceeds are donated to Holbrook Recreation.
