The picks are in for Week 7.
Our crew of Christian Babcock, Nathan Canilao, Glenn Reeves and Darren Sabedra predict 15 games on the schedule, highlighted by an East Bay showdown between Campolindo and Monte Vista and league openers between Santa Teresa and Live Oak and Lincoln-San Jose and Branham.
Babcock and Reeves tied for first in Week 6, each making 12 correct picks. Babcock leads the overall standings by two games over Sabedra.
All in fun, as always.
In this week’s video podcast, Babcock reflects on Pittsburg’s dramatic win over Los Gatos and how the outcome could impact the teams moving forward and Canilao discusses Serra’s dominance through two weeks of West Catholic Athletic League play.
Babcock also gives a brief preview of what appears to be a wide-open Blossom Valley Athletic League Mt. Hamilton Division race.
