I must admit that one of the biggest ego boosters I get is actually being recognized as the author of this blog or as a sportswriter for the newspaper.
I mean I guess everyone likes to be recognized for something that they work hard on and when someone walks up to me and says that they are faithful readers of my blog, it actually means a lot to me.
I had that happen last night when a Stratford parent saw me and let me know he is a reader. I thanked him for reading and I admit, yeah I was on a little bit of a high for the next few hours.
The blog is getting good numbers with 150 to 200 readers on most stories. Sure I would like to have more but I am satisfied with what I am getting. The playoffs are around the corner so that will pick up im sure.
Now for the picks
Things have really heated up over the last week or so and as of right now we have four people tied for the lead. Jonathan Perez, Luke Hetrick,Tucker Sargent, and yours truly are all 26-9, which is right at 75% accuracy. Brad Harrison and Evan Watson are only one game back while Mason Prince is only two games back. Lola my damn dog is killing her self by only picking dog or dog like mascots. I tried to tell her but dogs don't listen very good sometimes.
This weeks games are very interesting and we will have lots of different picks. The Northeast vs Bleckley and Southwest against Dodge are bound to have a lot of differences as well as Perry and Veterans. THAT MAKES FOR GOOD PICKING
HERE are the games for this week
Jonathan Luke Koknows Tucker
ELCA-Jones County Jones Jones Jones Jones
Northeast-Bleckley Bleckley Bleckley Northeast Northeast
Southwest-Dodge Southwest Dodge Dodge Dodge
Veterans-Perry Perry Perry Perry Perry
Stratford-Lincoln Stratford Stratford Stratford Stratford
Tattnall-Wash Wilkes Tattnall Tattnall Tattnall Tattnall

Veterans-Perry Perry Veterans Perry Perry
Stratford-Lincoln Stratford Stratford Stratford Lincoln
Tattnall- Wash Wilkes Tattnall Tattnall Tattnall Wash Wilkes
Peach-Westside Peach Peach Peach Peach
Now I finally picked a winner in a tough game when I picked Peach to beat Mary Persons at Mary Persons and that happened in convincing fashion. That give me one in a row. Look I could pick one of the easier games but I wont do that. I always pick a tough game. So for my cold stone lock of the week, I will go with the Perry Panthers and new head coach Kevin Smith to take down Veterans. You can count on it happening because its a cold stone lock
