The Times High School Football Pick 'Em: Week 9

Staff

Last comment by Times_Sports 1 year, 8 months ago.

We are starting the wind-down phase of the regular season and the standings are starting to see some changes. We ended last week with three of our five guys (Brent, David and Zac) tied in second place, five games behind our leader, Graham. You ask, where is the fifth guy? Bill, our longest tenured writer for The Times sports department, is trailing the lead by 11 games.

The real question this week: Will our guys have enought picking prowess to get to 100 wins?

Play along and post your picks.

French novelist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr may or may have not been writing about the 2011 edition of The Times High School Football Pick 'Em when he wrote, "the more things change, the more they stay the same," in the late 1800s.

It's still up for debate, but what is not up for debate is Graham's big lead. He is the first to reach the 100-win plateau, and after going 13-3 tonight, he holds a four game lead over second place David.

Pickers of the Week David and Bill put up strong numbers with a 14-2 performance.

Brent and Zac also put in 13-3 efforts.

With two weeks left in the standings are as follows.

Graham 101-28
David 97-24
Brent 96-25
Zac 96-25
Bill 91-30
