This Week's High School Football Predictions Are In

Our Peachtree Corners Picks; Wolves and Blue Devils are favored to win.

Every week, I pick high-school football games that are played in Patch coverage areas from Stone Mountain to Cumming. Check out this week's predictions, then let us know how you think your team will fare in the comment box below ... if you dare. Last week's record: 20-5. Overall record: 77-20.

This Week's High School Football Predictions

Wesleyan goes long to get an easy victory this week.

I was humbled a bit last week in my predictions of high-school football games played in Patch coverage areas from Peachtree Corners to Stone Mountain. After a can-you-believe-it 21-3 record the first week, I cooled off to a 16-6 mark last week (38-9 overall). I only missed badly on one pick. Really. So, let's lace 'em up for another week. Are you ready? Wesleyan at Twiggs County: Last week’s 27-10 loss at home to Elbert County is past and forgotten. Rest assured of that. The Wolves (1-1) are still state-ranked in Class A and will be in the playoff mix at the end of the regular season. Wesleyan should have no problem in this week’s game against Twiggs County, which has been outscored 105-14 in two losses. The only problem is the trip to …

It's Time for Our Weekly High School Football Predictions

Will I be a jinx or a source of luck for your team this week?

I’ll never forget the exchange of conversations I had with a Gwinnett County football coach several years ago when I worked for a pictures-and-words outfit out of Atlanta (I think they’re in Dunwoody now). “Scott,” the coach said of the weekly high school football prediction column I wrote. “Don’t pick us this week. You jinxed us last time.” Sure enough, that happened, although I wouldn’t call it a jinx. I picked his team to win the week before against an inferior team, and the coach’s team played spectacularly awful and lost. His team’s inability to hold onto the ball had more to do with it than what I wrote. OK, I said to the coach. Why not? It was an important game and I could be the bad guy and pick against his team. Result? His team …
