Two weeks into our all-for-fun high school football picks competition, and the newcomer is having a pretty good time.
In fact, he’s making Mike Lefkow and me look pretty pedestrian.
Evan Webeck took over first place in the standings, making the right call in 12 of the 15 games we picked last week. The kid chose Tualatin (Oregon) over Menlo-Atherton. Good call. He picked Mitty over Mountain View. Wise decision. He also had Los Gatos winning on the road over Liberty. Smart.
Lefkow, our two-time defending champion, wasn’t too bad himself. After a 3-6 opening weekend, he went 10-5 in Week 2 and is tied with me, three games behind the rookie.
I went 9-6 in Week 2 after going 4-5 in Week 1.
WEEK 3 COVERAGE
We picked 15 more games this week, including De La Salle-St. Francis, Valley Christian-Pittsburg, Bellarmine-San Leandro and San Ramon Valley-Central Catholic (Modesto).
