With time running out in the season, there aren’t many games left for our staff to make moves in the standings.
Last week, Scott Burton went 9-1 in his selections on the 615Preps Podcast, edging out Twitter votes by one game.
Burton pulled into a tie for second place with Chris Brooks (7-3 last week, 81-49 on show votes). The Twitter voters have held on to the lead for the third consecutive week, and now hold a three-game lead on Brooks and Burton.
Scott Burton went 1-1 on lone wolf picks last week when Shelbyville defeated Beech and Whitwell lost to Gordonsville. Kaposy was aggressive with three lone wolf pick attempts, but all three (Columbia Academy, Cane Ridge and East Nashville) lost. Lone wolf tries are now 16-36 for the season.
Overall, Brooks and Burton remain tied for the lead after identical 18-8 marks last week. This week’s picks expand to the entire state with the Division I quarterfinals and Division II semifinals on tap.
The gang will pick every game from the quarterfinals through the BlueCross Bowl. Twitter voters will still vote on the games selected on the 615Preps Podcast each week, and those links will continue to be on this page.
