6-Inderkum at Grant- Tigers looking good. showed they can win on the road. Pacers at home need a big air game.
8-Cardinal Newman at Vacaville- Cardinals can score and have a chance to add a quality road win. Tigers play another week with a team ranked higher.
Placer at 5-Del Oro- Golden Eagles at home opener. Hillmen could be stubborn.
3-Downey at Merced- Knights can throw, Merced had problems versus Patterson. Bears lose home opener.
Serra at 1-De La Salle-3 in a row is hard. DLS looked great vs. Grant. DLS has the home field advantage. Edge goes to Sparti in Concord. 31-26
Liberty at 4- Los Gatos-Wildcats are home after a defensive battle vs. Soquel. Liberty took down Frontier who traveled back up the 99. I like Cats ability to comeback on the road.
McClymonds at 9-St. Francis- Lancers at home, after Helix and McClymond's using a lot of energy in an epic loss to Riordan.
Salesian at 7-Moreau Catholic-Mariners are up against the Pride. MC trying to go 2-0 with more home cooking.
Salinas at 10-Valley Christian-Warriors showing some Moxy on the road at Wilcox. Cowboys' tough opener on the road.
2-St. Vincent at Truckee-This will be a battle in Truckee. The Wolverines and the Mustangs are defending State champions. Make the drive count from Petaluma!

Since Downey is in the Pick ‘Em this week, I’ll drop this article about the trick play they executed (years ago) that went viral across social media this week.

Downey’s coach, Jeremy Plaa, calls that play “vomit.”

Was hoping to see Marin Catholic vs St Mary’s Stockton on this this week’s pick’em. Calpreps projects a 14-13 game. Unfortunately, I’m still out of the country and won’t make it to the game. Doesn’t help that my internet connection on the cruise ship is terrible. Connected currently on land via phone network in Messina (Sicily), Italy, where it’s 11:07am. Bonjourno!

I think it's important to include the school mascot. Mostly animals who are bulldogs, wildcats, noblemen, horses, cougars, lions, hillmen, gauchos, dons, crusaders and even patriots and occasionally a zebra or donkey.

SM is going to obliterate MC, this is MC worst team in the Mozi era, they have not a single player on offense with speed and their QB is so bad, the second he senses any pressure he becomes one of the worst QBs in Northern California….the offensive line so down like 2-3 starters, their special teams are especially bad……their defense is tough but can’t contain SM too long when their offense and ST puts them in bad spots……this MC team is a 5-5 team and will only beat Tam in non league was surprised they didn’t work the transfer portal and bring in a RB with some speed

MC has always had a solid stable at QB, RB and OL. Are the 'Cats just a young squad? A family member goes to MC so always rooting for them. Good luck!

The QB when has no pressure can spin it, but he has Jimmy G legs so (MC benched him for the playoffs last year and put in a mobile QB and you saw that results) second any pressure comes he takes huge sacks or throws picks, the OL has injuries right now they were down 3 starters last week mid way through the game, after Charles Williams graduated they have zero in the RB department

What I think happens after they get smacked up again by teams blitzing them is they bring their D1 WR to Braden Dixon-Bacich to play QB so they have a runner back there and they will improve as the season goes on like they did last year when they made a similar switch, their special teams is terrible and was last year so that won’t change…….their defense will be solid at least

Dang! I just noticed that MC got beat last week 0-26 to Inderkum. SM rebounded well with their win vs Central Catholic. Unsure if Galvan returns at QB or transfer player from Tokay, TK, continues at QB for SM. He did a fine job getting the ball to the playmakers Moore and Gayles and let them do their thing. Yep, might be tough to keep up with them if unable to match scoring with them.

Btw, figured out why I was having internet problems on the ship. Needed to use a VPN so I could change my location to someplace in the USA, as many sites like Peacock and DirecTV streaming only operate in the USA. I’m also no longer blocked (403 Forbidden) to this website like I was before. I’m using NordVPN. Works great!
