Well, last week was an alright one for me as I went 5-2 on predictions. Cleveland surprised a lot of people, and Westview avoided their usually predictable meltdown and stayed unbeaten.
This week there’s a great slate of games and we can’t wait to see how it all pans out!
PIL Games:
Benson (0-3) vs Jefferson (0-3):
After last week, this sets up more disappointment for the Techmen, especially with Jefferson losing unexpectedly to Cleveland. Look for Jefferson to be up big early as Benson is our early favorite to go 0-9. After how their head coaches chose to act last week in terms of clock management and the post game hand shake (both bush league) I feel no empathy for them.
I’ll take Jefferson: JHS 65 BHS 20
Lincoln (1-2) vs Cleveland (1-2):
Cleveland showed they might be a thorn in the sides of those who end up battling for the 3rd and 4th place positions in league this year with last week’s win. But this week, they will be facing John Duffy (700+ yards) in front of a raucous home crowd at Lincoln. The Cards will get to .500 this week without much of a challenge.
Cards win big:LHS 47 CHS 17
Franklin (0-3) vs Roosevelt (1-2):
After getting hammered at Wilson last week, Franklin faces an even tougher test with Roosevelt getting Kimane Domena back from an ankle injury. This kid has serious stuff and is a match-up nightmare which will give Franklin fits on defense all night.
I’ll pick Roosevelt: RHS 35 FHS 6
Madison (0-3) vs La Grande(1-2):
The Senators get to get right at home with 4A La Grande making the trip to Portland. After struggling out of the gates, look for Madison to pick up their first win on the year.
Senators Win: MHS 28 LGHS 20
Wilson (1-2) vs Grant (1-2):
See yesterday’s post. GO GENERALS!
Game of Interest:
Sherwood (1-2) vs Lakeridge (2-1):
This will be a great match up in the TRL. Eric Doungy is going to be a D1 quarterback this time next year, and his spread offense going against the wing-t offense of the Bowmen will be especially intriguing. Look for the defense of Lakeridge to have their eyes, discipline, and emotions tested this week.
I’ll take Lakeridge: LHS 40 SHS 27
Game of the Week:
Parkrose (3-0) vs Sandy (2-1):
I don’t know much about the 5A this year, but I know that Parkrose has been putting up points at will, and I don’t think it will stop this week.
Parkrose: PHS 42 SHS 28
