Round nine was not good to me as out of 11 picks, I blew four and the excuse is I took chances on what these teams could have done because they were up to it...
GAME OF THE WEEK
Freedom 8-0 at Pittsburg 8-0....The pick Freedom 44 Pittsburg 40----What happened....Freedom 41 Pittsburg 38......This was every bodies game to win...and it wasn't settled until the last minutes of the fourth quarter...Pittsburg's QB with his QB keepers, kept Freedom off guard, Thompson with his hard running and he took a lot of hits as well as Rivers for Freedom...But it was the Pittsburg defense which kept the Falcon's from break out scoring as Rivers was continually held down in the early going and Pierce was having a tough time also, as he was on the run, but he dropped passes into the receivers hands on long throws....And some of those receivers after the catch or just missing a catch, hit the turf and sled five yards or more with water flying every where. But what really jump started Freedom was Rivers KO return of 90 yards and a 70 sweep down the left side.
Line Score
Pittsburg.....14.....07.....03.....14.....38
Freedom.....07.....07.....07.....20.....41

San Ramon valley 6-2 at Monte vista 8-0.....The Pick....Monte vista 38 San Ramon valley 28...what happened.....Monte Vista 32 San Ramon Valley 20.....with this win, it sets up the meet with DLS..SRV dropped a 28-27 loss to DLS, so the question is can the Mustangs turn the table on DLS...when California met DLS, I thought the Grizzlies had a shot at DLS, but betting against DLS was foolish as the Spartans took care of Cal 31-9.
