The Pigskin Picks Challenge enters Week 8 of the high school football season.

This week’s challenge is sponsored by Stoney’s Village Pizza in Windham, where you can always pick up a variety of pizzas, including some specialties like my favorite the baked potato pizza.

In Week 7, four competitors finished with undefeated records: Drew Flarida, Kayne Smith, Chris Myers and Mike Leigh.

After Week 7, Nathan Skaggs and Chris Myers are deadlocked for the first-place lead. Both have a 65-13 record.

A trio of competitors, Mason Jakacki, Alex Blake and Leigh, are sitting two games back with records of 63-15.

Below are this week’s list of games, the complete list of Week 7 records and the overall standings.
