Week 11 Fearless Friday Football Forecast, presented by State Farm agent Sean Reali
By Walt O’Reilly — MikeDragoSports.com correspondent
The games are sure to get tougher in the postseason, and that’s no different for the Fearless Forecasters. We’re faced with a lot of toss-ups this week. That a recipe for widespread heartbreak come Friday night.
Exeter, at home against Lower Dauphin in the opening round of the District 3 Tournament, appears to be the only lock. As usual, the Forecasters are behind the Eagles 12-0.
Most of the other games are close calls. The Forecasters like Governor Mifflin to win an Eastern Conference championship and expect Muhlenberg to see its season end, both by a 7-5 margin.
That’s one of a half-dozen coin flip games, none moreso than Elco vs. Kennard-Dale, which has the Forecasters split right down the middle, 6-6.
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).
