Bum Pickins Week 7
Can’t believe it is week seven of high school football. I ain’t even had a chance to try out my new long handles Ethel got me for Christmas last year! It may feel a little more like fall this week tough.
Well, I was 11- 3 on the week. Big Fob, Monk the Shunk, and Tricky Nicky all was 11-3. I am just 2 off the lead. Look out!!!!! Mr. T led the way with a 13-1 week. Sam, the Bam, and Hampton Inn went 12-2. CJ the DJ, and the Freeman was 10-4. The Mayor went 8-6. It is coming down to the wire, and the Guru is set to take over. It’s going to get fun these last few weeks seeing who makes a playoff run. Hang on to your britches; it’s going to be a wild ride!
Last week Boaz ran up and down the field on Crossville to get a 46-15 win. Just up the road, the Bulldogs of Geraldine had a field day (night) against the Eagles of Pisgah as the Dogs got the win 56-20. Ider got back on the winning track with a 49-6 win over Asbury. The Big Red Machine of Fyffe rolled over Sand Rock 55-0 for a happy Homecoming! The Rams of Sylvania took claim of the Mountain as they trampled Brindle Mountain 51-0. Collinsville celebrated its 100th homecoming with a 41 -7 win over Section. Fort Payne traveled to Lee and took care of business with a big 42-0 win. Valley Head extended their record to 5-1 after defeating Woodville 29-7. Fairview captured the Chiefs with a 47-7 win over North Jackson. Madison County took claim of their county with a 20-7 win over Scottsboro. NSM got back on track with a huge win over undefeated Cedar Bluff 55-22. Cornerstone lost a heartbreaker to Conecuh Springs 33-31.
This week NSM will host Ider in a big region match up. NSM can still get the home-field advantage if they can win out. Bum says NSM gets a win over Ider 42-12. Section travels to Sand Rock. It will be tough on the Lions of Section as they lose to Sand Rock 28-7. Plainview travels to Brindle Mountain. The Bears had the week off and should be healthy for the game. Look for the Bears to have their way with Brindle Mountain 48-0. Sylvania travels to New Hope for a region game. Sylvania takes a big step toward the playoffs with a win. Bum thinks the Rams get the win in a slobber knocker 28-24. Collinsville travels to Asbury. It ain’t going to be pretty for Asbury, as the Panthers of Collinsville ramble to a 56-0 win. Fyffe will travel to Cedar Bluff. Cedar Bluff is coming off their first loss. They will be coming off their second loss Friday night! Fyffe wins 48-7. Susan Moore travels to Pisgah for region play. Susan Moore is sitting atop of the leader board with Geraldine. Bum says Susan Moore gets the win 28-7 and sets up a big showdown with Geraldine next week for the region championship! Ragland travels to Head of the Valley. The Tigers are the most improved team of the year thus far! Bum thinks they continue the big year with a 31-14 win over Ragland. The Cats of Fort Payne travel to Buckhorn and can clinch the region with a win. Look for the Cats to take the win 38-10. Priceville travels to North Jackson. It is North Jackson’s Homecoming. It’s going to be a sad Homecoming for the Chiefs as Priceville wins 24-14. Arab travels to Scottsboro after a tough loss last week. I would not want to be playing Scottsboro this week. They will come out and roll over Arab 41-14. Woodville travels to R.A. Hubbard. It’s a tough place to play. Woodville will hang close but lose 24-17 to R. A. Hubbard. Cornerstone travels to Clay County. Cornerstone will take a tough loss 46-38 to Clay County. Bama travels to Texas AM. Look for Tua and company to run wild as Bama defeats Texas AM 47-17. Well that’s about it for this week. The next few weeks are going to be fun!!! Remember, save me a spot by the fence. The Pickin Guru, BUM.
