Well, here we are at the half way point of the season, and there is no slowing
down now.  Last week, I went 11-4 on my picks, bringing my season record to
46-17.  With a lack of big games this week, I'm going to go into depth on two
local games instead of giving a state game of the week.

SIAC

North 28, Castle 7
Mater Dei 42, Bosse 21
Central 56, Harrison 3


Big 8

Gibson Southern 42, Princeton 10
Hopkins County Central 38, Boonville 28
Jasper 35, Vincennes Lincoln 7


PAC

Forest Park 52, Pike Central 6
Heritage Hills 38, North Posey 7
Southridge 35, South Spencer 17
Perry Central 21, Tell City 14

WCGOW
Valparaiso 21, Chesterton 20

Two games this week garner the spotlight.

Reitz @ Memorial

Reitz finally got the defensive side of the ball rolling against a very
undermanned Harrison squad last week.  However, subs played the entire second
half with out giving up a point.  Memorial has had trouble on the other side of
the ball, only averaging 14 points a game after putting up 34 points on Bosse
last week.  The sophomore quarterback has gotten better as the season has gone
on, but this is not a Bosse defense that gives up 33 PPG.  Memorial strength v.
Reitz strength.  Look for something similar to last year's game.

Reitz 35, Memorial 10


Washington @ Mt. Vernon

Two surprise teams out of the Big 8 this year, Washington comes into this game
4-0, while Mt. Vernon comes in at 3-1.  The lone loss was to Mt. Carmel (at
home), while going 3-0 on the road.  Mt. Vernon has another Stemple running the
offense, while Washington really emphasizes team play.  I may have a different
out come if this game was being played at Hatchet's Hollow.  Tough, gritty,
hard nosed football game.

Mt. Vernon 21, Washington 17

Love that Jasper pick. Man, I love watching my Alma Mater dominate.
