We’re on holiday, in the process of enriching the Las Vegas economy, so this will be short, in more ways than one.
This week’s fearless, if not peerless, Division I-V predictions:
D-I, Lincoln 31, Helix 20. Can’t go against my alma mater.
D-II, Scripps Ranch 38, La Jolla 35. I live in the community of three million eucalyptus trees and my daughter went to school there.
D-III, Mater Dei 26, Ramona 21. Bulldogs have bite but this is coach John Joyner’s best Crusaders team since 2015 state champion.
D-IV, Patrick Henry 49, University City 42. Gotta’ roll with club coached by J.T. O’Sullivan, friend of my son-in-law’s since their days at University of California-Davis.
D-V, Mission Bay 35, Blythe Palo Verde Valley 14. Yellowjackets travel more than 200 miles for first championship game since 2015. Buccaneers beat Mountain Empire, 49-0. Blythe measured the Red Hawks, 34-21.
And congratulations to Cathedral and coach Sean Doyle, who coached his 11th San Diego Section championship, a 48-19 win over Carlsbad.
Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Disappointing matchups with all but Helix/Lincoln being walk overs. I hope this is not a trend, as I prefer competitive matchups in playoff finals.
That was my takeaway, too. There was something startling about all of those blowouts. I hope this augurs well for this week.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
