Thursday. One day to kickoff of the 2015 OSAA season. Along with college football starting tonight, we can say football season is here at last. After last year’s disappointing non-league performance by the PIL, the league appears to have more talent this season. Each week we’ll make predictions on the outcome of each game and track our record throughout the season. We don’t include the Grant game for one simple reason: we’ll always pick Grant to win. In addition, we’ll be combining this with our “Meet a General” segment from this point forward. Our picks for this week are in bold.
