It was not a good weekend for Dave Merchant...
Everyone's picks from this weekend are in and have been rolled into the results below. Winners of match-ups are in bold.
Lincoln at Chelsea
Tecumseh at Dexter
Ypsilanti at Adrian
Jefferson at Milan
Dearborn at Huron
Romulus at Belleville
Monroe at Saline
Pioneer at Bedford
Gabriel Richard at Ecorse
Addison at Manchester
You have to admit, though, he sort of had it coming in picking all those upsets (he had Lincoln, Dexter, Jefferson, Dearborn, Ecorse, Monroe and Addison). It's one thing to have one, two, or even three, but it's quite another to have a majority of your picks go against the grain. He wagered in a big way, probably in an effort to jump ahead of Mike and myself. After all, only last week he had just recovered from being in dead last and shuffled his way into a three-way tie for last.
In a way it's worth a nod and a slap on the back, because it took some guts. And in the process he did manage to be the solitary predictor of Monroe over Saline and Ecorse over Gabriel Richard.
Also notable is how important home field advantage seemed to be this week. Who knows if Ecorse or Bedford would have been able to accomplish the same feats without the comfort of their home field. Only two teams didn't hold up their advantage this week, and only one of those was surprising. Saline dropped the ball in mistakes yet again to put their season in a presumed downward spiral. Meanwhile, Pioneer's loss could possibly be the reality check the Pioneers need to become even more solid than they were in weeks prior. Every team needs a taste of losing to go on to become real winners.
But anyway, enough of that... the standings of myself and my fellow sports writers are below. Mike is still in first, although his margin over me slipped by a game this week (thanks, Huron, I owe it all to you for waking up).
1. Mike Larson--This week: 6-4 Overall: 41-9

3. Ed Patino--This week: 6-4 Overall: 36-14
