Week 13 Fearless Friday Football Forecast, presented by State Farm agent Sean Reali (updated with results)
It’s Week 13, a place where football dreams come to die. Half the remaining teams across the state will lose this weekend.
That might be the case at New Oxford and Susquehanna Township. Each is unbeaten and ranked No. 1 in its respective District 3 bracket — and each is projected to go down, according to our Fearless Forecasters. Not one of us picked either of those unbeatens, which could be a good omen for the Lancaster-Lebanon League teams they face, Solanco and Wyomissing.
Then again, we may just be a bunch of homers. We’ll find out tonight.
The game of the night happens to be the only District 3 championship game of the weekend: Berks Catholic vs. Trinity. Who will win? Honestly, we don’t know. Six Forecasters say the Saints, six say the Shamrocks. It doesn’t get any closer than that.
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).
