No
Cards to rely on this week
Man,
what am I going to do without
an Arizona Cardinals game
to pick this week? I mean,
that is the one guaranteed
win for me each week. At
least Cards fans don’t have
to sit through another game
like last week’s loss at
Green Bay.
It’s
a good thing I still have
Cactus Shadows to rely on.
The Falcons are good for
a sure victory each week.
Plus, U of A is back in
action this week and we
all know the Cats have packed
it in for the year.
Here
are this week’s picks:
Cactus
Shadows 30, Sunnyslope 22.
It all comes down to this
for the Wells Fargo 2 Region
championship. If the Falcons
want to win it outright
and earn the No. 1 seed
for the 4A‑Division
II state tournament, they
need to beat Sunnyslope.
They will.
Willow
Canyon 38, Boulder Creek
25. This might seem like
a meaningless final game
for two new programs, but
this could be a preview
of a big game next year
when the two teams will
each be part of the Northwest
Region.
Goldwater
28, Deer Valley 24. A late‑season
surge has Goldwater thinking
about a share of the Northwest
Region title. After beating
Mountain Ridge last week,
however, the Bulldogs had
better be on guard for a
letdown.
O’Connor
20, San Luis 7. Facing a
winless team should help
O’Connor earn a winning
season for the third straight
year.
ASU
34, Oregon State 27. Speaking
of letdowns, who won’t be
surprised if Oregon State
suffers one after last week’s
big win over USC? That’s
good news for ASU, which
is coming off an emotional
win itself. The Sun Devils
are a tad better, so the
nod goes to them.
Washington
State 31, Arizona 14. Two
surprising teams: Washington
State because of its success
and Arizona because of its
ineptitude. It’s time for
the Wildcats to call it
a year. Oh, wait, they did
that three weeks ago.
NAU
35, Portland State 28. A
big win over Eastern Washington
last week keeps the momentum
going for the Lumberjacks,
who need to win its final
three games to have a shot
at making the Division I‑AA
playoffs. It’s a long shot,
but a win over talented
Portland State would still
be nice either way.
Last
week: 5‑2
