Cool weather must have moved in to remind me I’m currently tied for last place in the LSJ’s weekly football picks with staffer Dave Tomczak. But that bottom position means that Tomczak and I are ready to rally troops and make much more studious picks for Week 3.
I do however see a few flaws where I’m going to edge out Tomczak this week. Orchard View over Ludington would for sure be an upset. Hesperia’s big win last week wasn’t enough to lift Dave’s brow apparently. Why, why, why does Tomczak keep going against Newaygo is my big question?
One person who wowed us with his picks in Week 2 was John Jarvi. His 15-3 record last week showed us he just might be a force to be reckoned with.
Ron Rop’s 14-4 Week 2 record has him itching to catch current leaders Steve Gunn and Shawn Liverance. Rop asked me to pass along a message to the fellas this week: Sleep with one eye open, boys.
Now let’s get to this week’s standings and our beloved picks for Week 3.
