Staff picks for Week 9

Our team has made its picks for every game including area teams this week.

Tom Duggin went 35-5 last week to gain a couple of games in the race, but Chris Brooks continues to lead the overall standings after a 33-7 showing in Week 8.

Week 9 is the lightest week of the regular season, with only 30 total games among area teams due to the majority of schools being idle for fall break this week.

Overall standings after Week 8 (total “told ‘ya so” picks for the season in parentheses next to each name):

Chris Brooks (8) 306-83, .787 (33-7 last week)
Tom Duggin (8) 297-92, .763 (35-5 last week)
Scott Burton (7) 295-94, .758 (33-7 last week)
Drake Williams (13) 260-129, .668 (30-10 last week)
