Friday Night Rights ... and Wrongs, Week 9.

I've pretty much fallen out of the race for the year's supply of Turtle Wax after everyone finished 7-1 last week, so I'm just trying to hang on and claim that gift certificate to the Spiegel catalog (and seriously, is there a Spiegel catalog any more? But I do remember when every game show gave gift certificates from the Chicago-based retailer as consolation prizes) and the latest home edition of the Weekly Picks Game.

As always, the complete staff standings can be found in the print edition. But I'm 52-20 for the season, down three from the lead with just two full weeks of picks and the playoffs to go. Not good.

Here are this weekend's picks, with home teams in CAPS:

Tri-County 18, BLUE HILLS 14: The Canton-based voke school is 2-6. But I hear Blue Hills has one heck of a plumbing department.

ATTLEBORO 35, Dartmouth 7: Should be no problem for the Bombardiers, who made a nice bounce back last week against Feehan. They will run the table as their brief tenure in the Old Colony League fades into history.

Bishop Feehan 24, DURFEE 13: The Hilltoppers ran pretty well against Attleboro earlier in the year, but they're a one-trick pony and can't defend against what the 'Rocks can bring offensively.

DIGHTON-REHOBOTH 16, Fairhaven 14: I'm still shaking my head over the Blue Devils' non-league win over King Philip. But with D-R (5-0), Fairhaven (5-1) and Seekonk (5-1) all bunched up at the top of the South Coast Conference standings, this is no time for the Falcons to let up and make the same mistakes that led KP to falter against what's apparently a good team.

FOXBORO 21, Canton 8: This would probably be the battle for the Hockomock League's Small School Division championship next year.

KING PHILIP 34, Stoughton 14: "Keep hope alive." That saying should be repeated over and over by the Warriors in their last home game of the season.

NORTON 20, Millis 6: Before the start of the season, Millis came perilously close to having to drop football because of a lack of warm bodies. Fortunately, the town of Hopedale came to the rescue with some strapping lads, and the result has been a 3-3 mark in the TVL. The Lancers should prevail, however.

SEEKONK 14, Wareham 13: I went back and forth on this one. Wareham didn't fulfill preseason expectations, but the Vikings are still formidable foes. Seekonk has gotten by with guts and grit when brute force hasn't been an option, and the Warriors will have to bring the "A" game tonight.

MANSFIELD 24, North Attleboro 21 (Saturday, 4:30 p.m.): Emotions will be running high in this game, and I believe that could serve as somewhat of an equalizer. From seeing both teams, I believe Mansfield to be more explosive offensively, and the Hornets' defense has made big strides since the start of the season. North won't be likely to pass successfully and will have to establish the run -- not just to move the ball, but to keep the Hornet offense off the field. Don't forget, proceeds from the 50-50 raffle will go to a fund to help the family of Marine Capt. Kyle Van De Giesen, who died in the service of our country last week. Dig deep.
