Pick 'em Week 9: Where did everyone go?
We had such a nice group of contestants at the beginning of the year.
Where have all of y'all gone? I mean, apparently lunch with me isn't enough of an incentive.
But we've got two weeks left in the regular season. Let's get back into the pick 'em spirit.
Last week's results:
Me: 9-1 (45-15, 75%)
Tom Planchet: 10-0 (32-18, 64%)
Juan Kincaid: 8-2 (39-21, 65%)
WWL-TV sports producers: 9-1 (43-17, 71.6%)
I came in with the closest to the correct score. Destrehan won 23-7 and I guess the Wildcats from D-town would win 28-6.
This week's games (my picks are in bold. apparently everyone else dropped out):
Fontainebleau (4-3) @ Ponchatoula (3-4)
Mandeville (6-1) vs. Northshore (6-1)
East St. John (2-4) at Hahnville (5-2)
De La Salle (3-4) vs. Reed (2-5)
St. Charles (6-1) vs. Port Allen (5-1)
East Jefferson (1-6) vs. Riverdale (2-5)
Pearl River (7-0) vs. Salmen (5-2)
Karr (4-3) vs. McDonogh (3-4)
Belle Chasse (6-1) at Helen Cox (6-1)

Bradley,
So what gives?? DHS gets back to the top spot and we don't get to choose them in our selections (tsk, tsk). Thats ok...I take it that you are on the same mindset as myself that DHS will go all the way to the Dome in December.
But anyhow....here is my picks for the week
Winners....
Fountainbleau
Northshore
I hold my nose on this one but Hshnville over ESJ
De La Salle (although both teams have horrible records)
St. Charles
East Jeff (see De La Salle comment)
Pearl River
Karr
Belle Chasse
and in the shocker of the season
St. James 21....JC 14
so when's lunch??
James, it's not that I take Destrehan out because they're back on top. I put in the 10 games I think will be A) the best games and B) the toughest to choose.
Thanks for playing this week. Should you win, lunch would be at a time both of us can make.
