OK, I’ve been swamped, what with the start of the fall season, pro football approaching, etc.
I promise the previews won’t be this late ever again.
So rapid fire, I”ll save the wit.
Andover at North Andover
With all apologies to proud Warrior alum Marc Barnaby, I’m a believer in the Knights.
Confusion with the transition dooms the Warriors in the opener.
“Bambi” Walsh and NA 27, Andover 16
Central at Marlboro
I’m not buying the “Central is down” talk.
Raiders roll against a suspect Cmass foe (this is a knock on the Raiders not facing an emass power and heading West here).
Raiders 24-12
Lynn English at Lawrence
Like the Lancers, program needs wins now.
Lawrence 12, LE 7
Malden (0-0) at Haverhill (0-0)
The Hillies need good news. I’m about to give them some.
Haverhill 14-12
Pentucket (0-0) at Marblehead (0-0)
No Cam Spofford, I’ll take the Headers or magicians or whatever they are.
Marblehead 13, PEnty 6
PELHAM (0-1) at SOMERSWORTH (1-0)
The pythons show some class and guts here to rebound.
PHS 19, SHS 6
Timberlane (0-1) at Dover (0-1)
Liked what I saw of Dover here last week.
Dover 24, Timberlane 21
Londonderry (0-1) at Salem (1-0)
Again, Salem looked sharp. Londonderry has to prove it to me.
Devils 23, Lancers 6
METHUEN (0-0) at Concord-CARLISLE (0-0)
I owe it to Pat Graham and the Rangers to stick by them, at least in the opener.
Rangers 16-14.
North Reading (0-0) at Ipswich (0-0)
The Tigers have endured some epic struggles lately.
NR 17, Ipswich 12
SATURDAY’S GAMES
Southeastern (0-0) at Whittier (0-0)
I buy Bradley’s Tornado theory. Dillon Ryan throws four TD passes.
Whittier 35-16
Manchester Memorial (1-0) at Pinkerton (0-1)
Are the Astros in for a long year? I think not. I’d love to pick the upset, I just can’t.
Pinkerton 7, Memorial 6
Somerville (0-0) at greater Lawrence (0-0)
I like the Ville as the Reggies get some valuable game experience.
Hilltoppers or Highlanders or Jumbos or whatever somerville is 16, Reggaroos 12
