Week 12: Fearless Friday Football Forecast, presented by State Farm agent Sean Reali (updated with results)
The opening week of the district playoffs took its toll on the Fearless Forecasters. One Forecaster went 7-7, three others were just barely above .500. No one went unscathed. The question lingers: We will make it to the end of the tournament?
Perhaps this week will be easier. We’re all in agreement, at least, in nine of the 13 selected games. There appear to be no toss-ups.
Even the Conestoga Valley-Exeter rematch, which on paper looks to be close, appears one-sided to the Forecasters: They lean 9-3 toward the Eagles. Wait, didn’t Conestoga Valley just beat them?
Whatever. Just like the players, we wipe the slate clean after every Friday night. Short memory and all of that. For those of us whose won-loss record is a veritable open wound that’s probably the best mindset.
Each week, MikeDragoSports.com staff writers, photographers, and contributors, along with writers from football partner LNP/Lancasteronline, will pick all the Berks games, along with other selected Lancaster-Lebanon League games.
We’ll keep standings and the Forecaster with the most points at the end of the season will get a (relatively) big prize!
Each correct pick earns one point; if a Forecaster “doubles down” on a Berks team and is correct he gets two points. Each Fearless Forecaster can “down double” on a team only once during the regular season (and once again during the postseason).
