I haven't been keeping track of my high school football predictions for very long, but this week something really unique happened- I went 24-0 on my picks. A skeptic might say "So what? High school games are so easy to pick, everyone does well."
Usually true, but most miss at least a couple each week. This past week, the big keys were picking a 2-3 Grand Valley team to knock off 4-1 archrival Pymatuning Valley, and deciding to go against VASJ vs. Central Catholic, as much as I hated to do it. I've become a fan of the Vikings over the years from going to Saturday night games at Euclid. The Central Catholic program is on the upswing in the NCL White, and I thought they just might be slightly better than VASJ. Sure enough, the 13-6 result proved my hunch correct.
I don't expect to get every pick right again this week, as there are a handful of real tough games that could go either way. The truth is, I wouldn't want to be right all the time. Part of what makes high school football so fun is the upsets-the unexpected winners. For one week though, I can say that I called 'em all.
