OK, much better effort this week.

After a ghastly 4-6 record, we bounced back nicely to the tune of 8-2 to boost our record to 71-29 on the season (71 percent for those scoring at home).

We knew early on that we were not going to get a perfect week when Bourne made the long distance commute and wasn’t fazed in the least by defeating KIPP.

I guess if you’re going to lose, you gotta have some fun with that prediction. We picked Milton over Dartmouth and called the Wildcats could very well be a sleeper in Division 3.

After four quarters of play, Milton and I both had something in common – that pick went to sleep. The Indians made the key plays and advanced to the state quarterfinals.

FAIRHAVEN over Lynnfield: The best defense could be a good offense and Fairhaven has certainly has that.

ST. JOHN’S PREP over Methuen: Eagles seem to have righted the ship on the defensive side of the ball.

Springfield Central over BC HIGH: Battle of the Eagles goes to the visitors.

NEEDHAM over Central Catholic: This one could very well be the best of the higher divisional matchups.

MASHPEE over Amesbury: Falcons have the potential to go all the way.

DUXBURY over Canton: Dragons are peaking at the right time on both sides of the ball.

NASHOBA TECH over Cathedral: We are officially on the NT Bandwagon.

SCITUATE over Wayland: Scoreboard operator has been put on high alert.

TABOR over Dexter Southfield: Too much firepower on the side of the host Seawolves.

BB&N over St. Paul’s: You think I am picking against BB&N in a bowl game named for its former football coach again?
