Nearly perfect

Last week was the first week that I made predictions, and I did pretty well. I was 8-1 and was pretty close to nailing the margin on most.

The only one missed was Central-Phenix City. I really thought that the Red Devils would beat Enterprise. They have another test tonight against Baldwin County.

We'll begin our predictions with that game.

Baldwin County at Central-Phenix City
Playing at home will be big for the Red Devils. They have played three of their first four games on the road, and it showed the last two weeks.
Central is excited to be back at home, and Central coach Ron Nelson said the Red Devils worked on limited their mistakes this week.
I don't think Central will turn it over a bunch tonight and will win. It won't be pretty, but the Red Devils should get to 3-2.
Central 21, Baldwin County 17

Pacelli at Chattahoochee County
This wasn't much of a game last year, and I'm not convinced this year will be much different. (Pacelli won 40-0 in 2006.) Look for the Vikings to score and score some more. If the Panthers don't get to quarterback Stuart Wilkerson, he's going to have a big night. If they don't hit Jacquise Terry in the backfield, he's going to have a big night.
The Vikings are going to pressure Chattahoochee County quarterback Caleb Horvath, and will slow down the Panthers' passing attack.
Pacelli 42, Chattahoochee County 6

Spencer vs. Kendrick
I'm not sure what to think about this one. Spencer wasn't very competitive against Troup last week. The last time Spencer was shut out - the season opener against Carver, 40-0 - the Greenwaves responded with two wins.
If either team has aspirations of making the playoffs -- although their chances are small -- they have to win this game.
The Cherokees will limit the big play and pull off a couple trick plays of their own.
Kendrick 14, Spencer 12
