another great week of high school football

GAMES OF THE WEEK
I want  everyone to know that I trying hard to win the Telegraphs picks, and after last week I moved into second place , just three games behind Brad Harrison. It seems as If I am doing well with the Macon schools and not so good with everyone else. But I am fired up about being back in the mix.
Coffee County vs Northside
I refuse to miss Northside for a third straight week. Northside at home is money in the bank, as they proved last week against Lee County. Of course I went with Lee County. No more mistakes on the Eagles.
Northside 34  Coffee County 14


Southwest vs Washington County
I am thinking huge region game here. One team is new to winning football games while the other one has been a power for years. As much as I want to pick Southwest, I just cant do it. I must go with the home team.
Washington County 20 Southwest 16


Mary Persons vs West Laurens
I have readers from both of these areas and my friend Doug is always giving me grief about not ever picking West Laurens. Well I picked them once and they lost so I have no faith in them.They have been playing much better football since a terrible loss to Warner Robins, but I am going with proven system on this one. If you want to be Mary Persons you have to beat Mary Persons, and Raider Nation is not ready for Zach Harvey or Malik Herring.
Mary Persons 23  West Laurens 13


Ola vs Jones County
High scoring game but I don't think Ola can match the firepower of Hunnicutt to Singleton
Jones 41 Ola 20


Harris County vs Veterans
Veterans is another game I lose every week and this week it could happen again. Thanks to Leyton Pinckney for making me look stupid when I picked against them a week ago. I wont make that error again. Pick the home team dummy
Veterans 21 Harris County 16


Tattnall Square vs FPD
I drank the FPD kool-aid and I liked it. But all of a sudden they are struggling to make the playoffs. I am not sure what the problem is because they still have weapons and I expect them to play the game of their season on Friday night against Tattnall. I mean these guys are almost playing for their playoff lives. Here is two things that I know for surre: FPD will right the ship and make the playoffs, and as well as they play Friday night (which will be pretty good) it wont be enough to stop the Tattnall train.
Tattnall 36 FPD 28


Westside vs Pike
Westside badly needs a win to secure a playoff berth. Pike County is pretty good and at home. No reasoning to this one except I love the Spoon as a coach in a big game.
Westside 22 Pike 20


Northeast vs Dublin
Two struggling football teams tell me to take the home team
Dublin 31  Northeast 20


Twiggs County vs MDS
Twiggs is probably still mad about losing to Tattnall and they will take it out on the Cavs
Twiggs 40 MDS 6


Wilkinson vs Stratford
Ok this is not an easy game. Hear me it is not an easy game for Stratford. Wilkinson is not bad, even though they have only one win. I am betting this is a one score game into the third quarter. Stratford will not take them for granted and will find a way to set up a huge game against Tattnall the following week.
Stratford 33  Wilkinson 22


Coach of the week for last week
Southwest and Joe Dupree with a huge win over Dublin. Southwest it seems has not made the playoffs in about 200 years and they are in a prime position to get in as a 1 or 2 seed this year. Go Patriots.

I am sure I missed some kids and feel free to tell me about it. We have a lot of great football players in this area, so I have not caught all of them. Obviously it is more difficult to pick defensive players because stats are not seen that much, but I did the best I could.
