The experts have now picked high school football games for four weeks now and the battle is shaping up already. Eight game experts (including my dog) are within three games of each other, but as the year goes by the games get tougher.
This week is much different than last week when most folks had the same teams winning. Out of the seven games this week, only the Jones County and Warner Robins games are unanimous. All the others are up for grabs.
I am impressed that Luke Hetrick will be on the radio today talking high school football games this week, and it is impressive that the radio station managed to get the man that is currently second in our picks. I guess Mr. Perez was not available. Luke you are way too pretty to be a radio guy.
So far this year
Jonathan Perez 22-6
Luke Hetrick 21`-7
Tucker Sargent 21-7
Evan Watson 20-8
John Kosater 20-8
Brad Harrison 19-9
Mason Prince 19-9
Lola the Dog 18-10
Now I have had some accusations that Lola the dog is not actually picking games. Well I am saying that that is false. Lola the dog is picking the games. I basically sit down with her and call out the game. If she barks that means she wants the second team I call out and if she doesn't bark she is picking the first team. This is how we communicate. I have to call out the teams nicknames when I do it and so far she always picks the one that has something closest to a dogs name. Therefore she always picks the Jones County Greyhounds and any team that has a Bulldog for a mascot. I mean is has worked pretty well so far for her. She is only three games behind a guy that will talk high school football on the radio.
I think Evan Watson should be highly commended for making time to do our picks this week despite being a storm chaser this week. I have never ever seen a reporter find so many downed trees all over Middle Georgia. Evan be honest, did you knock some of those trees over for the reports ? Did you almost have a tree fall on you ? Cmon man give us a real harrowing tree story.
By the way, yes I admit it, I am jealous of Luke being on the radio to talk about high school football.That is like my dream. I need to keep remembering that sometimes, dreams do come true and maybe it will be soon for me.
Ok here are the picks

My stone cold lock of the week has not gone well and its almost a curse for me to pick a team. However, I will come back this week. I am not picking the simple ones so I will say that Peach County is my stone cold lock of the week. Mary Persons at homes is a tough match-up, but I am confident the Trojans are ready for the challenge
