Perk’s Picks for Round Three of the 1A & 1AA NCHS Football Playoffs

Perk’s Picks for Round Three of the 1A & 1AA NCHS Football Playoffs

By Anthony Perkins

Hello football fans and welcome to the third round of the playoffs.  Last week in the second round of the 1A and 1AA pairings I picked 7 out of 8 winners.  Five of the winners covered the spread and only three were within 10 ten points. 

In the second round of the 2A & 2AA I only picked 5 out of 8 winners and only four winners covered the spread.

Over in the 3A & 3AA brackets for round two I picked 6 out of 8 winners and all six covered the spread and one game was within seven points.

Last week’s totals were 18 correct picks out of 24 games for the 1A thru 3AA classifications. In the 1A thru 3AA classifications for the first round the results were 33 correct picks out of 40 games.  Totals for both rounds of the playoffs are 51 correct picks out of 64 games.

Here are the pairings and my picks for this week’s games in the third round of the 1A and 1AA west brackets.

#4 Murphy (10-2) @ #1 Robbinsville (12-0): Robbinsville by 10

#3 Thomas Jefferson (10-1) #2 Elkin (9-2): Thomas Jefferson by 6

I live in Gaston County and I am an avid high school football fan. I’m a military retiree (USAF E7, Crew Chief) and I am also a retired Baptist minister. I have been married to the same woman for 40+ years who blessed us both with two wonderful children. They have in turn added six children (three each) to the clan. I also enjoy the hobby of model railroading.
