Green Co @ Kuemper-------Kuemper
North Polk @ Perry------------Perry
Webster City @ Clear Lake----Clear Lake


Hard to pick against our boys, Gilbert looked impressive against Webster City last week. Coaching staff at Clear Lake will have their team ready as always. Is this a down year for Harlan? We will find out this week........Whiton from Perry will carry the Bluejays to a victory at home.....Good luck to all!
 
What the heck, I'll give it a whirl:


Algona @ Estherville Lincoln Central: I'll go with Estherville LC.

Carroll @ Harlan: Hard to pick against Harlan, but I'm going with Carroll.

Garner-Hayfield @ Humboldt: Humboldt looks salty, I'll take the home team.

Gilbert @ Boone: Gilbert dominated in week #1, I'll go with Gilbert.

Green Co @ Kuemper: Kuemper struggled last week, will see how they bounce back this week. I'll take CK.

North Polk @ Perry: North Polk got destroyed by B-F. I'll take Perry.

Webster City @ Clear Lake: Clear Lake is hard to pick against, I'll take the home team again.
 
Esterville-LC over Algona --- Midgets stand tall

Carroll over Harlan -- toughest game on the board, Harlan is hurt by inexperience

Humboldt over Garner-Hayfield -- over early

Gilbert over Boone -- fear the Tigers this season

Carroll Kuemper over Greene Co. -- Kuemper bounces back

Perry over North Polk -- home field matters in this toss-up

Clear Lake over Webster City -- the Lion's dominance continues....
 
Algona @ Estherville Lincoln Central------------Algona 14-12. Size advantage too much for Midgets to overcome
tongue.r191677.gif

Carroll @ Harlan---------Carroll 28-27. Even though I know it's not very smart to pick against the Cyclones.
Garner-Hayfield @ Humboldt----------Humboldt 35-0. Bigger school, better team.
Gilbert @ Boone-------------------------Gilbert 28-6 Gilbert looks to continue a good start.
Green Co @ Kuemper-------Kuemper 28-6 Kuemper recovers from crosstown thumping last week.
North Polk @ Perry------------Perry 15-14 I've taken the Perry Kool-Aid, damn it. Now start winning!
Webster City @ Clear Lake----Clear Lake 35-0 Lynx in a lot of close games last year. This won't be close.
 
I'll give this a shot:

Algona at ELC - ELC in a close game
Carroll at Harlan - Carroll by 14 (not an upset to me)
G-H at Humboldt - Humboldt by 28
Gilbert at Boone - Tigers by 28 (Gilbert very talented this year)
Greene Co at Kuemper - CK in a close game. Lost about everyone from last year
North Polk at Perry - NP by 7 in a close one.
Webster City at Clear Lake - Continuous clock for Clear Lake.
 
Week Two Results:

fmclonefan--------------------------7-0-------------------100%--------Awesome start
theiceman44-----------------------13-1-------------------93%---------Impressive
Buckaclone--------------------------6-1-------------------86%---------Thanks for playing
Boonedad---------------------------11-3------------------79%---------Is Boone bad?
Superbee922-----------------------10-4------------------71%---------additional games!!!!
Wild Man 4510---------------------9-5--------------------64% -------deep trouble

Since there are only 4 games a week in D2 and with some games being easy picks, we must expand, (so Superbee and Wildman can get back in to it). So we will pick the non-district games for each of the 8 - 3A districts & the D2 games. Sorry about the additional homework. New pickers are always welcome!!!
D2

Algona @ Greene Co
Carroll @ Webster City
Humboldt @ Boone
Perry @ Gilbert

D1---Sioux City,West @ Sergeant-Bluff-Luton
D3---Crestwood @ Waukon
D4---Marion @ Western Dubuque
D5---Knoxville @ Fairfield
D6---Perry @ Gilbert--------See above
D7---Knoxville @ Fairfiled-----See above
D8---Lewis Central @ Harlan
 
Boonedad---------------------------11-3------------------79%---------Is Boone bad?


Here is the scoop on our Boone team. We were senior heavy last year. We have only a couple boys playing this year that even saw varsity action last year, so they are growing up fast. We opened against a solid Ballard team and stayed with them until mid third quarter when we had a TD called back......Last Friday's game against Gilbert? They are as good as we had heard they were. They are solid, but I predict injuries will be their nemesis. I saw very little depth on their roster......Both Ballard and Gilbert are well coached teams.... fun to see how far they will go this year.

Boone will get better...the young men are working hard and know they have their hands full this year. Don't count us out just yet.......

Iowa Falls @ Webster City may end up being a great game. Both teams are better than their record shows as both have faced tough competition this year.

Combined record of WC's opponents so far is 16-9 while the combined record of IF's opponents so far is 17-8. I was originally leaning towards Iowa Falls, but I'm swaying over to Webster City. Should be a close game.
 
Boone @ Carroll - Boone needs a break, but their schedule doesn't give them one. 48-7

Humboldt @ Greene Co - Greene Co. has competed well all season, but Wildcats are too much for them. 35-7

Iowa Falls-Alden @ Webster City - Two teams dealing with rugged schedules. 21-20

Perry @ Algona - Blue Jays begin a string of 3 very winnable games. 35-6

D1--Glenwood @ Denison-Schleswig - Rams (1-4) are 8 pts away from being 4-1. 22-21

D3--Clear Lake @ Waverly/SR When in doubt, take the larger school. 29-28

D4--Assumption @ Wahlert Both teams have big district showdowns next Friday. 28-21

D6--Oskaloosa @ Grinnell Grinnell is a little off from previous seasons, but they have competed well against good competition. 42-6
 
Boone @ Carroll----Carroll rolls on and Boone continues to look for a win any win--------Carroll----49-14

Humboldt @ Greene Co.----Humboldt wins but Greene Co hangs around-----Humboldt-----28-14

Iowa Falls-Alden-------IF-A plays AP very close, WC is shocked by the Rams------Webster City-----28-14

Perry @ Algona--------Perry makes long trip to the North and enjoys the trip home-------Perry-------30-12

D1--Glenwood @ Denison-Schleswig-------Denison in a wild one---------------38-36

Wildman, I missed a game last week; I picked Waverly-Shell Rock to defeat Clear Lake.

So you will need to amend your contest standings.
