Gosset’s guesses: Grapevine and Legacy take the lead

When it comes to upsets, the picker hasn’t done so hot, going 0-4.

Overall last week was great, 42-8 to get the winning percentage over 72.

One more undefeated team went down and now only six area schools remain: Keller Fossil Ridge, Aledo, Saginaw Boswell, Fort Worth South Hills, Midlothian Heritage and All Saints.

Week 9 is a big one - multiple games with district title implications. At least three of those games feature teams with identical records.

No real upsets stand out, but in those three matchups, the picker is going with Grapevine, Birdville and Mansfield Legacy.
