Some good games among the 12 local contests today – Friday, Sept. 6 – including Ravenscroft traveling to rival Cardinal Gibbons and Cary playing at Wake Forest. Actually almost all the local games should be competitive except for one or two. Several other matchups take place outside the Triangle area.

Most area high school football teams are playing their third games of the season and most games start at 7:30 pm with a few beginning at 7. Try to make a point to get out there and support high school athletics this season. Temperatures tonight hover around 75 at game time with no chance of rain. My record in picking games last week was 10-3 for a season record of 20-5. Below, the predicted winners for this week are in bold.
