Gosset’s guesses: Byron Nelson will inch closer to a playoff berth
Turn your calendars - it’s November and only 11 days remain until the end of the high school football regular season.
Two short weeks as teams continue to jockey for district and playoff position.
Last week, the picker did well, going 41-9 to bump his winning percentage to 73 - can he get to 80 before state?
As the Week 10 schedule is upon us, the game that stands out the most is Crowley at Everman. Both teams are undefeated in District 9-5A. The picker likes the home team.
Upset pick is Byron Nelson. The Bobcats host Flower Mound Marcus. Although both schools are tied in the District 5-6A standings, Nelson has given up 120 more points this season.
The Bobcats did beat the Marauders 29-22 last year, so give the picker Nelson again.
