my winners

I will go ahead and make all of my picks stone cold lock winners because after writing 462 stories over the last few weeks I feel as if I am an expert.
I welcome all the emails and texts asking why the hell wont you write something on us this week. Hello Kosater we are still playing football here why no coverage in the paper?
Hey Kosater why are you already writing Tattnall basketball stories and not covering our football team?
Yes all of those are accurate texts that I received this week, and right now I will address your concerns.
1. I am a freelancer for the Telegraph. I have no say about what or when I write, but I thank all of you for thinking I am more important than that,
2. Sometime we have stories planned but coaches wont answer texts when I try and set up a story. So before getting in touch with me, ask your coach to see if he responded to me. If you ask me I will be glad to tell you who they are.
3. no sports editor, 2 freelancer and a partridge in a pear tree are handling the sports right now for the Telegraph.




Lets check out the games
Stratford and Fellowship Christian
I finally get to cover Stratford and I am excited about it. Can Stratford win ? Sure they can , even though they are playing a team that scared the socks off of Eagles Landing a year ago. Fellowship lost four games this year but all of those teams are still in the playoffs so they are used to playing hard teams.
Stratford ? I don't know. The strength of schedule is underwhelming for sure and they lost to Aquinas, who lost earlier to Mount de Sales. I believe that this game will be much tougher than people think, and that it may come down to the end. Tobe Umerah is back after an injury and I think the Eagles will win because of the homefield advantage and a good kicker.
Jamison wins it near the end
Stratford  24    Fellowship  21


FPD and Athens
The Vikings can pass but they cant run and they cant play defense. I believe in all honesty it will take a miracle for them to win. Do I know anything about Athens ?
Nope
But I know a lot about FPD. They had a great year but it runs out this week
Athens 40  FPD   24


Jones County doesn't matter who they are playing this week, they are winning
Westside loses a tough one this week
Mary Persons gets one more win over Baldwin
Northside cant get past Tucker  although they keep it close
Peach County the only team in this area who will win state, wins by 45
WRHS my alma mater keeps that magic working with another win.
And now after 15 stories in the last 16 days, I am tired
Have a good weekend friends
