If you pick 7 out of 9 games correctly, that’s a pretty good week. Yet while three of our PxP “experts” went 7-2 and six others went 8-1, we all still lost ground to the four guys who ran the slate at 9-0.
Jack Farrell (Manor ISD PxP) was one of those, allowing him to recapture the lead. Melvin Jones (Regents) moved back to third with his 9-0 week while Tyler Ulses (Crockett) and Adam Neuberger (Anderson) pulled closer to the middle tier with theirs.
Liberty Hill’s win over Pflugerville split our pickers right down the middle while Georgetown/East View and Hutto/Stony Point were the only other games where two or more guys broke with the pack.
With just three weeks left. Farrell, yours truly (Vandegrift) and Jones have separated themselves a bit from the pack. Meanwhile, the rest of the field is packed tighter than a NASCAR Cup race at Talladega, with just five games separating the next nine pickers.
By all appearances, things should shake out about the same this week as only one game – Cedar Park vs. Lake Belton – has divided the field. See how we all picked below, right after the current standings heading into Week Nine.
