Things are gettin' good as we reach the midpoint of the season. This week is loaded with games that I would love to see, all around the state, so let's take a look at what's on tap. Here are the picks for the games involving area teams, and I'll just have to say to the area teams, if you don't like the picks, pull a Sully Buttes and prove me wrong! Please? :o)
AREA GAMES:
PLATTE-G/DC at Chamberlain (KPLO)
DUPREE at Edgemont
HARDING CO. at Faith
HERREID/SELBY at Gettysburg -- should be a great Homecoming game! Battlers, see above
SULLY BUTTES at Ipswich
LANGFORD/ROSLYN at Hoven/Edmunds Central
Timber Lake at LEMMON/McINTOSH
TODD CO. at Little Wound/Crazy Horse
HIGHMORE-HARROLD at Lower Brule
McLaughlin at EUREKA/BOWDLE
MILLER at Crow Creek (KPLO)
Stanley Co. at MOBRIDGE-POLLOCK -- Buffs, see above - a knock-down, drag-out here!
Cheyenne-Eagle Butte at RED CLOUD
FAULKTON at Warner -- Trojans continue to impress
Sunshine Bible at WESSINGTON SPGS/WOONSOCKET
WHITE RIVER at New Underwood
PHILIP at Wall -- go watch this one on Saturday!!
MARQUEE MATCHUPS:
HOWARD at Lyman -- Raiders, see above! Best game of the day!!
Winner at ST. THOMAS MORE -- only time I'll go against Winner this year
AVON at Viborg -- Viborg is a 9B sleeper team, but Avon still way too good
Castlewood at ESTELLINE -- Redmen are making some noise in 9A
HANSON at Emery/Ethan -- Perennial power Hanson at 9AA #2 Emery/Ethan - whoa!!
Douglas at HARRISBURG -- not much of a contest - just pointing out a cross-state road trip ;)
Dakota Valley at TRI-VALLEY -- #1 T-V gets a solid 11A opponent here
Canistota/Bridgewater at WHITE LAKE/PLANKINTON -- not much attention here, but should be a good game
11AA:
PIERRE at Yankton -- I think this will be a very tough game for the Govs - call this a homer pick
Brookings at BRANDON VALLEY
Mitchell at ABERDEEN CENTRAL -- Aberdeen picked a cupcake for Homecoming
WATERTOWN at Huron
RC Central at SF WASHINGTON
SF ROOSEVELT at RC Stevens -- how good is Stevens, really?
SF O'GORMAN at Spearfish
Sturgis at SF LINCOLN
My pick percentage skyrocketed last week, but it'll be tough to keep that pace this time. Eight games I consider marquee matchups this week, plus a lot more that are BIG games for the teams that are involved. This is what it's all about! Have fun at the games tonight - stay dry - and get well wishes to the President of the VSK Fan Club!!

Brian, thanks for picking Philip over Wall. It turned out to be another very good showing for the Scotties as a team. Also another fantastic offensive game for Casey Cvach. In a couple weeks, they have Lyman. Another good game??
ReplyDeleteHard to pick against the Scotties, no matter who they play now. I may have to flip a coin for their Lyman game. :) Casey's on fire, that's for sure! Keep it up, Doggies!!
