This is my favorite week of the prep football season.
The Division I-A Southern Region playoffs begin, there are two league titles up for grabs, and all the games are Thursday because of Nevada Day.
“This (stuff) is TOO easy!” After seven weeks of prep football action, I am nailing 72 percent of my picks straight-up. Three of my losses this season came last week when I missed every play in my prop bet extravaganza. (#Karma Right, Durango fans?)
If you saw me at school this week, you probably noticed the huge smile on my face and the extra bounce in my step. No, I didn’t get a date for homecoming yet, but I’m still feeling quite chipper. That’s what happens when you correctly predict seven out of eight prep football games like I did last week.
Lost in the excitement last week of Rancho snapping its 30-game losing streak — for the record, that won’t be the only game the Rams win this season — Sunrise Mountain quietly reached a milestone of its own under second-year coach Chris Sawyers.
My English teacher is making us read “Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team and a Dream” this semester in honor of The New York Times best-seller’s 25th anniversary.
