Keeping Pace

0
0
I got back on form last week, going 3-0 in my picks. That boosts the stats a little. My overall record for the fall sports season sits at 8-3-1. Let’s review last week:
 
1. My pick: Tomah girls golf wins MVC Championship at Trempealeau Mountain. Actual result: Tomah wins by 29 strokes.
 
2. My pick: BRF football def. G-E-T 18-15. Actual result: BRF def. G-E-T 33-12
 
2. My pick: Necedah football def. Hillsboro 35-28. Actual result: Necedah def. Hillsboro 34-16
 
There’s a theme in a couple of area conferences this week featuring some of those teams just below the leaders in the standings going head-to-head. Here are my picks for the teams trying to keep pace.
 
1. Football - G-E-T def. Westby 21-17
 
The Norse have put up fewer than 20 points only once this year. That happened to be their loss at Black River Falls. G-E-T’s defense has proven tough, however. We’ve mentioned Brad Walski a couple of times already this year, and on offense the RedHawks boast the Coulee’s leading rusher in Erik Van Vleet. Westby has the homefield advantage (and Tyler Ihrcke), but based on what I’ve seen from G-E-T, I’m not ready to give up on them yet. This should be a close game.
 
2. Football –  Tomah def. Holmen 30-24
 
Both teams are coming off tough losses. Tomah stepped out of the MVC and lost to Westby, and Holmen dropped a one-point game to Aquinas. Interestingly, Tomah has yet to win a game at home. That said, I expect Colin Kroener and the Timberwolves passing attack to make the home crowd happy this week.
 
3. Football – C-FC def. Indy-Gilmanton 22-16
 
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see either team in person yet this season. Still, from what I have seen and read, the Pirates have a solid pass game led by returning starter Cale Lisowski, who’s got a couple of weapons in Brandon Ruesgen and Parker Lyga. C-FC also made a run in the playoffs last season, but Indy-Gilmanton is proving they’re a contender this year. That’s why I see this being a one-score game with the Pirates coming out on top.
