High School football picks: With several big games this week, here are our Week 8 predictions – Desert Sun

Here we are in the eighth week of the high school football season in the Coachella Valley and the games seem to be just as difficult to predict. Last week, after two weeks without missing a game, I was correct on just three of the seven games.

Our sports columnist, Shad Powers, was correct on four of seven. So, yeah, it was rough week. Congratulations to the winners and particularly to those whoprovedus wrong.

My overall record for the season is 47-14-1 and Shad's is 43-18-1.

All you probably care about here is our picks this week, and seeing who can toss these on the old bulletin board. So, let'e get to it.
