Frank’s Forecast

- By MIKE FRANK Sports Editor WERT by 21

Hi-de-ho, neighbors! As you can see above, I have officially given up on writing headlines for this little exercise, and will go forth under the “Frank’s Forecast” banner.

Taking a check of last week’s results, I had what I believe is my best week so far, going 17-3, with just one miss at each level. Doesn’t happen often, but it’s a nice thing when it does. Overall, that puts me at 81-39.

Time to jump on in and see what’s fine about week nine:

WBL

Bath (5-3) at St. Marys (6-2) — Roughrider­s close out the regular season home slate with what should be an entertaini­ng game. Key thing is to keep everybody in good shape for the playoffs. Bring the umbrellas for this one….ST. MARYS by 10

Celina (1-7) at Wapakoneta (6-2) — Redskins won in OT to stay in second place, while Bulldogs are playing out the string….WAPAKONETA by 21

Van Wert (7-1) at Elida (4-4) — Cougars will handle Elida just like St. Marys did to keep hold of the top spot….VAN

——— MAC

Coldwater (7-1) at Marion Local (8-0) — Top dogs in the MAC have a showdown. Might be lower scoring due to weather, but still should be dandy, with OT a possibilit­y….MARION LOCAL by 6

Anna (3-5) at Minster (0-7) — Wildcats are celebratin­g Homecoming, so hopefully they can get a victory here against the Rockets, who have dropped four straight….MINSTER by 7

New Bremen (5-3) at Parkway (1-7) — Cardinals gave a good fight against Flyers. Won’t need that much effort handle the Panthers….. NEW BREMEN by 21

Versailles (7-1) at St. Henry (6-2) — Redskinks knocked off Coldwater a couple weeks ago. Tigers have come the closest to beating Marion Local. Tough choice, so go with the home squad…ST. HENRY by 7

——— NCAA

Central Florida (3-2) at #3 Cincinnati (5-0) — The highest-ranked team in the state of Ohio
