week 2 of high school picks

Obviously I had some tricky games on the schedule last week in our pick-ems, but I am kicking myself for not going with Warner Robins to beat Northside. Remember, never ever go against your alma mater.
So what was found out in the first week ?
1. Jones County is very good and Teldric Ross is very very good
2. Westside has weapons with Victor Dixon and Omar Jones and will be much better this year
3. Veterans looked terrible in the first week, but came back last night with a big win, which means David Bruce is getting it done.
4.Howard is better
5. I am ready for more high school football.


I actually have seen three football games. I watched the Jones County fastest show on turf display and they straight out just abused Houston County. Teldric Ross may end up being the best player in Middle Georgia this year, and until I see someone better I am going to stick to that claim. He makes everyone on the team better.
I had Veterans and Northgate last Friday and I still think Veterans should have won that game. David Bruce was not happy after the game, but he got his kids back on task this week as they Beat Dublin last night. The key for the Warhawks is to Pinckney to Horton combo. Horton had only three catches in the first week but went off big against Dublin. The man is a playmaker.
Last night I had Northside and they were not as impressive as I thought they would. I say that and they won 44-6, which says a little bit about the competition they played. I feel like this will not be a typical Northside team with 11 wins and a deep playoff run. You just cannot replace Tobias Oliver and stay elite. The Eagles are looking to get better and grow up, but with their schedule that could be tough.


So the pick- ems is off to a slow start because some of the games are kind of difficult. After one week this is how everyone looks.
Evan Watson  5-2
Luke Hetrick  5-2
Tucker Sargent 5-2
Koknowsports   4-3
Jonathan Perez  4-3
Brad Harrison   4-3
Mason Prince    3-4
Lola my dog     3-4


So  the television guys did well and the writer guys are close behind. It is too early to see a trend, but I fully expect to be leading my own contest before long. TV guys tend to get bored easily and by the middle of the season they will falter. Well that may be true, but I am not sure about the boy band boy Evan. He is a true news guy so he may have better focus than sports guys.

We have some  very interesting games this week and its only the start  of the season. My guarantee stone cold winner this week is Central over FPD. Many aren't seeing that , but Central is packing 21 seniors this year and I believe they are the type of program that wont lose to a good team like FPD. It should be very interesting though
