WEEK EIGHT PICKS

By Don Seeley

   Hip-hip-hooray to Daniel Boone and Perkiomen School for their big wins last week ... and boo to me for not picking them (and more boos for me for not learning enough to pick them this week, either).

FRIDAY'S GAMES
   Daniel Boone at Reading: Blazers have to get off the ball offensively, and be very concerned with Reading's speed. Toss-up here, so maybe better go with the home team ... READING.

  Pottsgrove at Pottstown: Falcons played their best game of the season last week, and may very well have enough defense to go toe-to-toe with the explosive Trojans ... POTTSGROVE.

  Spring-Ford at Owen J. Roberts:Family night, of sorts, for the Coyne family. Junior gets the best of Senior and the Wildcats ... SPRING-FORD.

   Upper Perkiomen at Perkiomen Valley: Indians have shown improvement in recent weeks, but still aren't at the Vikings' level ... PERKIOMEN VALLEY.

SATURDAY'S GAMES
   Boyertown at Methacton: The Bears should break out of their offensive slump, but not quite enough to match the Warriors ... METHACTON.

   Pope John Paul II at Phoenixville: Despite all their injuries, the Golden Panthers still battle - and their passing game gives the opposition fits. But the Phantoms just may be coming off their best game of the season and are aware of their position in the postseason playoff picture ... PHOENIXVILLE.

   Archmere Academy at Perkiomen School: Archmere is by far the best team the Panthers have seen this year, and will likely have too much depth for the upstart hosts ... ARCHMERE ACADEMY.

   Hill School at Blair Academy: The Rams are really struggling to find the end zone, and the Bucs don't relinquish much when their defense is on the field ... BLAIR ACADEMY.

   Last Week: 6-2
   For the Season: 42-15 (.738)
