HS FOOTBALL PICKS: HORNETS TO STING NORTHSTARS

With our high school football prognosticator continuing to go along in the mediocre .800 range, this week’s picks include Hamilton to beat Nottingham.

FRIDAY Bishop Eustace at EWING: Word on the street is Ewing has invented a whole new offense that will change the way football is played forever. NORTHERN BURLINGTON at Hightstown: Would be a much bigger deal if these two played each other in softball. Steinert at LAWRENCE: Cardinal assistant Pete Lestician can do more than produce state champion softball teams.

NOTRE DAME at Hopewell Valley: We’re saddened to note the recent passing of former Hopewell catching great Keith “Pete” Petrie.

Princeton at WEST WINDSOR: It’s ridiculous West Windsor is not allowed in the playoffs. ROBBINSVILLE at Bordentown: Speaking of Bordentown, remember when Denver Bronco great Floyd Little was in the BMI backfield? BURLINGTON CITY at Pennsville: See D.J. Woodbury run. Cinnaminson at HOLY CROSS: Just a hunch Lancers have a little more “O.’’ Pemberton at SENECA: Indian school district plays some of the best football in the state.

Rancocas Valley at VINELAND: Poultry Clan’s chicken will be strutting its stuff. Riverside at PITMAN: Ex-Eagle GM Harry Gamble was from Pitman.

Sterling at WILLINGBORO: You can’t stop the Chimeras. You can only hope to slow them down.

PENNSBURY at Abington: This pick is probably more with the heart than the brain. TRUMAN at Pennridge: Rams haven’t been the same since they closed Poppy Yoder Field. Bensalem at COUNCIL ROCK NORTH: This could be an instant classic.

Bristol at NATIVITY BVM: Would you want to go to Pottsville on a Friday night?

George School at MORRISVILLE: Dawgies are going to the playoffs, by George. BISHOP McDEVITT at Conwell-Egan: After all these years it’s still not the same without Mike Tos patrolling the Eagle sideline.

SATURDAY HAMILTON at Nottingham: A celebratory Dr. Neil arrives in a stretch limo loaded with champagne and cigars after once again being misinformed this game had been named in his honor. Allentown at BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP: Air Maderia hasn’t lost two in a row since 2017. Eastern at TRENTON: There’s a reason Trenton is known around the country as “The High.” MAPLE SHADE at Palmyra: Shaders nearly beat the Robbinsville football juggernaut. NESHAMINY at Council Rock South: Vince Bedesem’s coaching could make this close. Pennington at NEW CHURCH: Church boys are a bunch of killers. HUN at Lawrenceville: Bring on Peddie. Capital Prep at PEDDIE: Bring on Hun. Last Week: (18-5) .782

Season: (145-35) .800
