Gosset’s guesses: Watch out for the Joshua Owls

Last-second game winners were the theme in Week 6. Haltom beat Keller with a 33-yard touchdown catch from Imiee Cooksey as time expired. Arlington Lamar’s Juan Villegas kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired against North Crowley.

There are still a few undefeated teams in the area: Keller Fossil Ridge, Arlington Martin, Aledo, Saginaw Boswell, Fort Worth South Hills, Richland, Burleson, Midlothian Heritage and All Saints.

This week, the picker predicts that 8 of 9 will continue their winning streaks.

The upset pick is Joshua over Granbury. The Owls haven’t beaten the Pirates since 2008 (0-6), and if they do on Friday, they’ll improve to 4-2 and 2-1 in District 9-5A.
