It’s week 10 of the high school football season and while most top spots are secure, there are a number of playoff spots still available. However, there is a tie for first place among four teams playing tonight – Leesville Road, Wakefield and Wake Forest, which plays at Leesville tonight in perhaps the week’s biggest game. That match-up will be broadcast on 99.9 The Fan radio. A couple of other intriguing games include Garner at Knightdale and Holly Springs at Green Hope.

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 before the season is over. There are a number of local games this week.

Temperatures dip way down into the mid 40s with no chance of rain. My record in picking games last week was a near perfect 16-1 for a season record of 78-26. The only loss was Millbrook’s upset of Wakefield. Below, the predicted winners for this week are in bold.
