-We will see how good I do. I can't believe that I am picking against Timpview. It may just be wishful thinking, but Lone Peak is good.

From a non-biased point of view I think your picks are pretty good. I think East may pull one off against AF. I also don't think Pine View will be that close to Cottenwood but you still picked them winning. Last I don't know either if LP will get Timp but I'd love to see it.

Payson beat Spanish Fork in 2007 at Spanish Fork. Last Year the Dons started another winning streak beating Payson 50-14. After playing Alta and Timpview the Dons are just lucky to be healthy. Interesting to see how Payson and Spanish Fork will react to be in the same region next year.

Salem Hills stinkin Rocks They are gonna dominate great pick

those picks look pretty anti st. george

bradah the cottonwood vs pine view game is going to be pretty good but i still think cottonwood will give them the bizznes

and hmm copper hills hillcrest?? well i think it will probably be close at first but then CH will just take the lead and show em what they have even tho im rootin for hillcrest ha

it wont be that close for jordan and layton...all layton does is run they dont have a QB.

no one will beat cottonwood this entire year. you heard it hear first. feel the stampede.

uuhhh...Layton looked like their quarterback was pretty descent when we played them. Layton hater do you go to Northridge?

to anti:

You are right... that was my whole purpose is to dis on those St. George teams... Get over it, I am so sick of hearing all the southern fans whining about everything. There is nothing anti about it. I just call it the way I see it. I actually think that Pine View will be better than Cottonwood this year, but it is the pre-season and Pine View is playing away so I think Cottonwood will come out on top. I don't know what the teams are like from California and Las Vegas that Snow Canyon and Dixie are playing so I could be completely wrong. Stop being such a baby.

Desert Hills 38 Emery 6 sounds pretty anti st. george to me.

Although very exciting to have a shootout, I expect a lower scoring game with Layton-Jordan (notice who I put 1st), unless they can't recoop their losses that they're still without 2 of their best defense guys. Layton QB pretty much picked apart the Cottonwood defense....lot of dropped and missed opportunities last week by the receivers. Look for Layton to upset Jordan on the turf, 27-23.

Salem Hills will dominate? They were in the game last week but still lost. They lost to another new program, I hardly think they will dominate. They should be competitive in their new region next year.

to True Blue Layton Lancer Fan:

I really appreciate your comments because I love the discussion it creates. The Layton-Jordan game was a tough pick for me, and honestly I think it could go any way. On the scores on all of my predictions I am probably way off anyway! The reason I picked Jordan was because they already lost a close game at home this year and I think they got their confidence with their win in Ohio so those two things combined give me reason to pick them. It should be one great game though. May the best team win!

Who cares about the opinion of the Friday "Night Rider" Do you ask your talking black car who will win this week and then it spits back these predictions? Way cool.

as a matter of fact, I put my mask and cape on and fly to the future to see the games and then come back and give you the predictions but in order to keep my identity safe I guess some of them wrong on purpous. Isn't it birlliant. Honestly I don't care what you think, and if you don't like what I write then don't read it. Try and lighten up a little buddy, life is to short to be a jerk on a local newspaper comment board.

amen

I personally appreciate this Friday Night Rider, he is a real high school football fan. If you don't agree with him, does it matter? Cause what he says won't affect the game, it's just what he thinks. He sparks conversation unlike your worthless comments.

Brighton will beat hunter and it will be a low scoring game. no way hunter puts up 42

La Costa over Dixie? This is La Costa's first game of the season compared to Dixie's 3rd game. The Flyers already have most of the kinks worked out, they are at home, and it's 105 deg in St. George right now. These La Costa guys will be cramping up big time about the middle of the 3rd qtr. The California guys will not want to be coming back to Utah after this butt kicking.
Dixie 35 La Costa 14
