Before Julius Erving and the Philadelphia 76ers were about to embark on their run at the 1983 NBA championship Moses Malone made a bold prediction:

“Fo, fo, fo,” he said in a Moses kind of way, claiming the Sixers would sweep each of their three playoff series.

The Sixers indeed swept to the NBA title but it wasn’t a clean sweep: They lost once to the Bucks, going 12-1 in the postseason.

Our 2024 Fearless Forecast champ didn’t have a perfect playoff run, either, but it was damned close: Matt Hagy went an astounding 40-1 during the postseason, coming from just off the lead to clip Jeff Reinhart at the wire, 153-152.

Hagy was perfect over the final three weeks, going 13-0, 8-0, and 8-0. No Forecaster has ever done anything like that before.

Hagy and Reinhart went into the final week tied for first and differed on just one pick: The WPIAL Class 6A final between Pine-Richland and Peters Township. Hagy went with P-R, which won 20-9.

It’s not like Reinhart, the lead high school writer at lancasteronline.com, dropped the ball down the stretch: He went 37-4 over the final four weeks. Bronze medalist Logan Moyer, a journalism major at Susquehanna University, also posted a 37-4 playoff mark. Not too shabby.

Hagy, a Douglassville native and graduate of Daniel Boone, has been covering football for MikeDragoSports.com since its inception, in 2021. He is currently Director of Athletic Communications at Ursinus College; prior to that he held the same position at Albright College.

Hagy’s championships brings an end to a mini-dynasty. Joe Mays won the inaugural Fearless Forecaster championship in 2022 and tied for the title last year with Sam Cavalieri.
