Week 7 of the high school football season features a rematch of the 2004 Eastern Maine Class B championship game tonight when Brewer hosts Winslow.

Across the river, meanwhile, the lights at Cameron Stadium will be dark Friday night, as 4-2 Bangor has a bye this weekend before resuming its Pine Tree Conference Class A schedule against undefeated Mt. Blue of Farmington on Oct. 21.

Winslow (6-0) at Brewer (5-1), 7 p.m. Friday, Doyle Field: These teams last met in a hard-fought, emotional 2004 regional final won by Winslow 14-0.

“It’s certainly something we’ll not forget,” said Brewer coach Ed Ortego, “that game and what could have been. We’re anxious to play.”

Brewer entered last year’s regular-season game at Winslow with an undefeated record but left with its first loss. This year, it’s Winslow that brings an undefeated record to Brewer, and the Witches hope to send the Black Raiders home with their first loss.

“The shoe’s on the other foot,” said Winslow coach Mike Siviski. “This time we’re coming up to their place as the undefeated team, and hopefully we’ll play well.”

Winslow hasn’t lost since the 2004 state final, while Brewer has won four consecutive games since a Week 2 defeat at Waterville.

“We’ve improved every week,” said Ortego. “We started off with a very tough schedule, but in our recent games instead of backsliding we’ve continued to improve.”

Both teams feature high-powered offenses. Brewer is led by the senior tandem of quarterback Ricky Porter, tailback Zach Wilson and fullback Ben Caldwell.

“Caldwell is powerful, Porter can break any play and so can Wilson,” Siviski said, “and we’re a team that can do that, too.”

Winslow counters with junior quarterback Stephen Siviski and a trio of top-notch running backs in John Goulette, Jared Maroon and Justin Lindie, who’s healthy now after being injured early in the season. Kevin McCabe is a top-notch receiver for the Raiders.

“Both sides of the ball are playing pretty well,” said coach Siviski. “We’ve gotten healthier, and we’ve gotten some of our kids who were inexperienced at the start of the year some experience.”

Given both teams’ offensive playmakers, this game could come down to which team plays the best defense and is able to force turnovers

“When you go back to last year and look at both teams, their defense presented the biggest problem for us,” said Ortego. “They’re so solid that you have to do things right against them, and when the opportunity arises, you have to be able to take advantage.”

Bucksport (3-3) at Orono (4-2), 7 p.m. Friday: A Bucksport win could propel the defending state champions back into the playoff hunt, and coach Joel Sankey’s club has shown recent improvement in a 20-6 loss to Mattanawcook Academy of Lincoln and a 20-0 shutout of Maine Central Institute last Friday.

Joe Robicheau has been a regular member of the 100-yard rushing club for the Golden Bucks and is the reigning LTC Player of the Week, and ball control likely will be a key for Bucksport as it endeavors to keep the ball out of the hands of the LTC’s leading rusher, Orono’s Mardy Simon.

The Red Riots, whose only losses have come to LTC co-leaders Foxcroft Academy and Mattanawcook, bounced back from a Week 5 loss at Foxcroft to defeat Stearns at Millinocket 34-6 last Friday.

Coach Bob Sinclair’s club, which currently is solidly in the four-team LTC playoff mix, features an Oklahoma split-T offense that’s tough to defend, particularly if tailback Travis Dunton and fullback Nyasha Millard also are factors in the rushing attack.

Maine Central Institute (3-3) at Rockland (4-2), 7 p.m. Friday: Rockland begins a final three-game push for an LTC playoff against opponents with records of .500 or better.

After hosting MCI, the Tigers visit 5-1 Mattanawcook Academy at Lincoln before closing out the season at home Oct. 28 against 3-3 Bucksport.

Coach Daryle Weiss’ Rockland club bounced back from a tough nonconference loss at Old Orchard Beach with a solid win amid the rain at Dexter last Saturday.

The Tigers hope to have their offensive balance in top form against an MCI team that could propel itself into playoff contention with a victory, though the Huskies’ postseason hopes took a hit last week in a 20-0 loss against Bucksport.

MCI will need to keep Rockland QB Andrew Weiss – who averages 149.7 passing yards and 103.3 rushing yards per game – and tailback Mike Marsh, the LTC’s third-leading rusher, in check if it is to pull off the upset.

Old Town Indians (1-5) at Hampden Academy (2-4), 7 p.m. Friday: Hampden can’t afford to look past Old Town as it seeks to earn one of the eight Pine Tree Conference Class B playoff berths.

The Broncos have lost three straight against some of the iron of the league – Winslow, Brewer and Belfast, but wins against Old Town and Maranacook in their regular-season finale would give coach Harry McCluskey’s club a .500 record.

Hampden is led offensive by senior quarterback Chris Morris and fullback Som Ratsakongsky, one of the top rushers in the division.

But Hampden must be wary of a dangerous Old Town offense led by junior quarterback Jarrett Lukas that has proven capable of generating points against the conference’s better teams.
