That cutesy little reference to this week being "Week 10.1" is to note that there's only one game on the docket locally, although a very important one to the local team playing in it.
So let's get to the pick right away, with the home team in CAPS:
TRI-COUNTY 35, Old Colony 6 (Saturday, 1 p.m.): The two schools have dubbed this yearly game the "Cougar Classic," because both teams share the same nickname. Last year's game was played in bitter cold (but with warm hearts on both sides of the field, as seen in the post-game ceremonies that honor the athletes of both schools), with Tri-County clinching its first-ever berth in the MIAA playoffs. This year's game is for the same stakes, and behind the varied offensive sets of coach Dan MacLean and the versatility of QB/RB Randy Hardy, Tri-County will prevail handily, and I'll be chronicling it for the next day's paper.
It's been a fun race in the staff picks this year, and the standings won't change this week (we all picked T-C). Danny Crandall and James Schneider are in a tie for first at 67-22 (.744), I'm in the middle of the pack at 64-26 (.711) and Peter Gobis and Dale Ransom are nipping at my heels at 63-27 (.700). Thanksgiving should be fun.
