I spent the last few weeks whining about seven- and eight-win performances.
Boy, did I long for those days last week.
This space took on more water than the Titanic as I sunk to a season-low 5-5. The hope is that this was my one downer before the playoffs. Much like the players involved in the postseason, I'm hoping to take my Pickorama game to the next level this week (home team in caps):
Andover over LEXINGTON – Air Perry gets the slight nod over Ground Frelick.
BC HIGH over Braintree – Eagles get back on the winning track.
Bridgewater-Raynham over NATICK – Sensing a breakout game from the Trojans.
Marshfield over MANSFIELD – Going with the more consistent team.
WELLESLEY over Hingham – Raider defense is the difference here.
Everett over HAVERHILL – A shame that one top-five team is getting bounced this early.
Brockton over NEWTON NORTH – Boxers revving up the running game at the right time.
Stoneham over SHAWSHEEN – Tough schedule pays dividends here for the Spartans.
MILTON ACADEMY over St. Sebastian's – Mustangs need this one to keep bowl hopes alive.
Governor's Academy over BROOKS – Not many coaches get more out of their team than Jim O'Leary does.
LAST WEEK: 5-5 (.500)
SEASON TO DATE: 52-18 (.743)
