Ok. My first three attempts of posting this have went haywire so after throwing my iPad against the wall, I have decided to cut out the witty banter and get to the picks.

Jamie Baker- Findlay Courier

Avon over Perrysburg. A Week 9 one touchdown win over 1-9 Olmsted Falls scares me but I'm taking the Eagles anyway.

Perkins over Clyde. Perkins won by three TDs during the regular season

Bryan over River Valley. Everyone in Bryan has been talking about a game with Kenton they'll get their wish.

Kenton over Triway. Not sure who's going to stop the Wildcats.

Tinora over Wayne Trace. Rams over the Raiders for the second time.

Crestview over Ada. Heart says take Ada, head says Crestview will win.

DSJ over Calvert. Won't be close.

Arlington over Hicksville. How dangerous is Hicksville? Just ask McComb.

Marion Local over Covington. Giving the Flyers the early nod to win it all.

Moeller over Elder. Pick against Big Moe? Don't think so.


Rocketman- Internet Mogul

11-0 Avon............Avon has a pretty nice ring to it this time of year.......besides the Eagles are the better team

10-1 Clyde ..........a game where I might be able to pick one up on Bubba......I started with them in Week #1 and I'm staying with them in Week 12

11-0 Bryan..........know nothing about New Caledonia, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!

11-0 Kenton.........would be the biggest shocker of the season if the 'Cats faltered here

10-1 Tinora .........another game where there's a chance of getting the best of Bubby........and the Rammies are for real in this division!

9-2 Crestview ....they have to avoid the letdown after their big win last Saturday night.....Ada will be ready, but take the Knights in Shining Armor

7-4 DSJ ..............hmmm, which of these Catholic schools would I choose for MY child?.....M-A-C, M-A-C

8-3 Arlington......another hmmm game.......the Aces have gotten me a couple of times this season already......hope they're not reading the RC now!

11-0 Marion Local.....Shadyside awaits.......ahh, who am I kidding......another Flyer victory

10-1 Moeller .......Mighty Moe flexes their muscles in this backyard rivalry game......guaranteed to have more butts in the seats game than any other this year


Josh Morgret- Fremont News-Messenger

Avon... I don't think Perrysburg can pull off the upset two weeks in a row

Clyde... These two teams met about five weeks ago and Perkins won at Clyde in a game that featured a lightning delay and a blackout. They're meeting in Bellevue and I think Clyde wins a close one

Bryan... Bryan is in their 2nd straight game against an undefeated team. I like Bryan by 10 to set up a game against...

Kenton... Kenton might be the favorite to win the state title in D4. I like them by two or three touchdowns to set up an amazing game against Bryan, IMO.

Tinora... Interesting game here. Tinora won at home a few weeks ago against WT and I think they win again

Ada... This is similiar to Tinora-WT. Crestview won at home against Ada a few weeks back. Both teams are coming off upset wins last week. I think Ada wins this time

DSJ... Region 24's worst nightmare came true when DSJ snuck in the playoffs. Calvert is one of the hottest teams in the area but I like DSJ to get the win.

Arlington... Arlington snuck their way past St. Joe last week to what appeared to be a rematch with McComb but Hicksville had other plans. I think Rettig has a huge game for Arlington and they win a shootout

Marion Local... It will be a huge shock if ML doesn't win D7. They win here by three touchdowns

Moeller... Moeller could be on their way to the D1 state title game but Elder won't be easy. Moeller won at Elder's Purple Pit a few weeks ago and wins again here


Jordan Strack- WTOL Toledo 11

Avon- Jackets without Dimmerling will battle but Avon is just too much.

Clyde- I know Perkins went into Clyde & beat them up back in Week 6...but I have a feeling it will be different this time.

Bryan- there is something special about this team. I don't know why..but they always find a way.

Kenton- easy pick. Won't be close.

Tinora-has the chance to be a classic. I think the Rams beat them again.

Crestview- the week 7 slaughtering wasn't a fluke...will be closer this time but the Knights will win again.

DSJ- I refuse to pick against them again. I'd be a fool to do it.

Hicksville- not sure why exactly...but I'm going with a hunch on this one..

Covington-what a game...I'll go with Covington because their defense has allowed just 12 points in the last 5 games...that's silly!

Moeller-the defending state champs have a great shot to return to Canton this year..



Tim McDonough-Defiance Crescent

9-2 Perrysburg vs 11-0 Avon - Perrysburg got a nice win over Akron Ellet last weekend, but Avon proves too tough in this one.

10-1 Clyde vs 11-0 Perkins - Clyde's only loss of the season came to Perkins and Clyde's second loss is also going to come to Perkins.

11-0 River Valley vs 11-0 Bryan - Bryan just keeps finding ways to win. After knocking off Genoa, I like the Golden Bears to move on to the regional finals.

11-0 Kenton vs 9-2 Triway - Triway earned a nice win over Wauseon last weekend, but Kenton is another animal. Wildcats roll in this one.

10-1 Tinora vs 10-1 Wayne Trace - If Tinora QB Brevin Renollet is slowed at all by a leg injury he suffered last week against Northwood, that's bad news for Rams. I'll take Wayne Trace on the turf at Lima.

8-3 Ada vs 9-2 Crestview - Ada just keeps proving me wrong week after week. Can they beat Crestview? I'll take them and find out.

7-4 DSJ vs 7-4 Calvert - Nobody wanted Delphos St. John's to make the playoffs at 6-4. Tiffin Calvert will find out why on Saturday.

7-4 Hicksville vs 8-3 Arlington - Like Bryan, the Aces keep finding ways to win late in the season. I think their magic runs out this week against the Red Devils.

11-0 Covington vs 11-0 Marion Local - On paper both are 11-0. On the field, Marion Local will be 12-0 because they're the best D-VII team in Ohio.

10-1 Moeller vs 9-2 Elder - Moeller rolled over Elder earlier in the season. I say Moeller rolls over Elder late in the season too.


Kevin Oberhaus-Rocketcorner News

Avon- Without their stud QB, Perrysburg is gonna struggle to keep it close. Eagles were probably gonna win anyway.

Perkins- I just can't see Clyde making up a 20 point difference on a nuetral field.

Bryan- The Bears are on a mission. Truck on forward to a battle with Kenton next week.

Kenton- Same as above ^^

Wayne Trace- I think the Raiders learned something from the first matchup. Plus Rams QB is a little banged up.

Crestview- They handled Ada easily a few weeks ago and kept LCC at bay. They win again.

DSJ- I can't pick against DSJ again. I was impressed last week. Great coaching.

Hicksville- Don't know why but I just have had hunches with Hicksville this year. High scoring game.

Marion Local- Can't pick against them. Class of D7 but Covington can keep it close.

Moeller- As much as I want to pick an Elder upset...NO. Moeller easily beat Elder in the Pit.


Joel Miller- WNDH 103.1 Napoleon

TBA...


Eric Kastner-Rocketcorner News

9-2 Perrysburg vs 11-0 Avon - Avon was going to win regardless, but now Perrysburg will be without starting QB.

10-1 Clyde vs 11-0 Perkins - I will be covering this game over in Bellevue. Can Perkins beat Clyde twice in one year? I say YES!

11-0 River Valley vs 11-0 Bryan - Bryan remains unblemished with a win over top-seeded River Valley!

11-0 Kenton vs 9-2 Triway - Kenton by several scores!

10-1 Tinora vs 10-1 Wayne Trace - Tinora looking to knock off WT for the second time this year. You can BOOK-IT!

8-3 Ada vs 9-2 Crestview - Can Ada get some redeption against Crestview, whom blew them out by 51 pts in the regular season? I say they play them tough, but Crestview comes out on top by a couple of scores.

7-4 DSJ vs 7-4 Calvert - Calvert with the upset of the week! This will be a defensive battle, that Calvert will win up-front!

7-4 Hicksville vs 8-3 Arlington - Can Hicksville make a magical run? This reminds me of when the knocked off top-seeded Hopewell-Loudon a few years back. However, I'm taking the much BIGGER Arlington in this contest.

11-0 Covington vs 11-0 Marion Local - Wil MSML be challeneged this post-season? ML by 25+

10-1 Moeller vs 9-2 Elder - Moeller will take this contest by a couple scores!


Dave Boninsegna- Zsportslive.com

9-2 Perrysburg vs 11-0 Avon
Perrysburg will be without their starting QB for their contest with Avon, that could bring an end to the Yellow Jackets season; Avon moves on to week 13.


10-1 Clyde vs 11-0 Perkins
Another rematch set up for this week when The Perkins Pirates and Clyde Fliers meet once again. They faced each other in week six when Perkins won convincingly, 34-14. The loss to Perkins is the Fliers’ only blemish. They give them another blemish.

11-0 River Valley vs 11-0 Bryan
Battle of unbeatens going to Bryan

11-0 Kenton vs 9-2 Triway
Kenton in a blowout


10-1 Tinora vs 10-1 Wayne Trace
prob the most toss up game this week; I am going to take WT


8-3 Ada vs 9-2 Crestview
NWC rivalry part 2 for the 2013 year; Crestview shared the conference crown with both Ada and Jefferson, defeated the Bulldogs 62-12 in week seven. should have no problems again this week.

7-4 DSJ vs 7-4 Calvert

DSJ likes to run, run and run some more as unfortunately Leipsic found out last week. I dont know that they run over Calvert, but I do think they win.

7-4 Hicksville vs 8-3 Arlington
Speaking of running; Arlington can do that too, the Red Devils run to a win over the Aces.

11-0 Covington vs 11-0 Marion Local
Marion Local is very stong and prob the best D7 team, I like them this week.

10-1 Moeller vs 9-2 Elder
BIG BIG Cincinnati Rivalry part 2; Moeller beat Elder earlier in the season and repeat again this week.
