FRIDAY, September 14
Brockton at Natick, 6 PM
Natick has been less fearsome since they ran out of Flutie brothers... Brockton, 28-7
Atlantis at Holbrook-Avon, 6 PM
I was unaware of there being an Atlantis High in Fall River. They should try to sneak Aquaman onto the team... Atlantis, 9-6
Archbishop Williams at Middleboro, 6 PM
Since we'll be doing this column through November, you may as well get used to us refusing to use the "ough" ending for towns like Middleboro... Middy, 14-13
Mashpee at South Hadley, 6 PM
Heck of a bus ride, IMHO... Mashpee 34-13
Seekonk at Fairhaven, 7 PM
Fairhaven's high school building can do a pretty good Notre Dame Cathedral impression... Seekonk, 21-20
Quincy at Milton, 7 PM
My loyalties are split here, as I am an alumni of both East Milton Nursery School and Furnace Brook Elementary School. FEES is now the Bernazanni School, but I am old school enough that I went there when Bernazanni was still the principal ... Quincy, 18-14
BC High vs Marshfield, 7 PM
Vegas should have kept Coach Silva... BCH, 20-19
Xaverian vs Bridgewater-Raynham, 7 PM
It is a bit strange that with all the Bridgewaters to choose from, Raynham gets on a team with them instead of West Bridgewater or East Bridgewater... X, 21-20
Wareham at Bourne, 7 PM
I always bet the town where I A) live and B) know the cheerleading coach... Bourne, 31-30
Case at Diman, 7 PM
"Diman" is a school name that I have never heard spoken aloud, and I have no idea if it is pronounced like "demon." It'd be funny if it were a Catholic school (Editor''s note: It's not, it's a Voke-Tech.)... Case, 14-7
New Bedford at Whitman-Hanson, 7 PM
Our office for the South Coast is in New Beige, so I choose them... NB, 22-17
Dighton-Rehoboth at Plymouth South, 7 PM
They're probably was no fight at all, but I do wonder if there was a fight when deciding if Dighton would go before Rehoboth. Dennis-Yarmouth at least has a Cape Cod Baseball League team to name Yarmouth Dennis, which probably saved the area a riot... PS, 24-7
Durfee at Taunton, 7 PM
My girlfriend is from Taunton, so they're gonna go 9-0 this season, at least in here... Taunton, 45-9
Cardinal Spellman at Bishop Stang, 7 PM
I skip a lot of church, so I may be wrong, but I think that a Cardinal outranks a Bishop... Spellman, 21-20
Attleboro at Dartmouth, 7 PM
Dartmouth would win at Darts, but we don't cover that sport... Attleboro, 24-16
Apponequet at Old Rochester, 7 PM
Old Rochester is actually in Mattapoisett, a faux pas that will cost them in this column... Apponequet, 12-10
Coyle-Cassidy at Bristol-Plymouth, 7 PM
BP is in Taunton, so I don't know how the Plymouth part got in there... CC, 21-10
Scituate at Duxbury, 7 PM
Duxbury lost the last time I went, but I'll be somewhere else for this one... Duxbury, 54-27
Silver Lake at Oliver Ames, 7 PM
I dated a girl from Silver Lake once, and we got along poorly enough that I thought that she may kill me in my sleep. Perhaps that intensity will carry over to the football team... SL, 31-18
Newton North at Weymouth, 7 PM
My schedule also has Weymouth playing Brookline on Saturday, so either Weymouth's AD is very ambitious or my schedule is wrong.... Weymouth, 21-19
Monomoy at Nauset, 7 PM
The newspaper that I used to write for had a poll when they were naming the Chatham/Harwich school, and while Monomoy makes sense, I preferred "Charwich."... Nauset, 30-14
Westwood at North Quincy, 7 PM
We pretty much just guess at the scores until the teams play enough games for me to see patterns and tendencies... Westwood, 18-17
Matignon at Hull, 7 PM... Matty merged with St. Joesph''s Prep, but it won't be enough... Hull, 12-7
Pembroke at Plymouth North, 7 PM
I taught at PNHS, so I choose them... PNHS, 31-30
Abington at Rockland, 7 PM
Abby vs Rocky, gotta pick a tie somewhere, why not them?... 14-14
Greater New Bedford at Somerset-Berkley, 7 PM
Is there a Lesser New Bedford somewhere?... SB, 12-6
Hanover at East Bridgewater, 7 PM
If this was a Saturday morning game, I would bet on a Hangover... but it isn't. .. EB, 20-12
SATURDAY
Barnstable at Braintree, 11 AM
Barney comes off the Cape, looking for blood... Barnstable, 47-7
West Bridgewater at South Shore Voke, 11 AM
I always bet town schools over Voke Techs... WB 27-21
Tri County Voke vs Cape Cod Tech, 1 PM
I always bet Cape Cod when the other team isn't in my coverage area. OK, almost always... TC, 30-10
Cohasset at Nantucket, 2 PM
The ferry ride should be Dramamine worthy for the Cohasset kids... Cohasset, 31-28
