Prep football Pick 6: Greg Lee, Sam Adams select six games of week

Intro By Greg Lee The Spokesman-Review

My season batting average is rising.

Mired at .500 for the first three weeks, I’m hitting the leather off the ball.

From year to year I usually pick games correctly at a .700 clip. I’m within eyesight of that percentage.

Sam Adams, KHQ/SWX sports director, and yours truly each went 5-1 last week. We didn’t have any differences so we both stand at 24-12 – a .666 average. I don’t like that combination of numbers so I’ll just round it up to .670.

This week’s schedule, particularly in the Greater Spokane League, is lacking marquee games. I thought that was a better way of saying the schedule is dreadful.

Last week: Adams 5-1 (24-12 overall), Lee 5-1 (24-12)

Sandpoint at Moscow

(Friday, 7 p.m.)

Lee: Sandpoint 23-21. Sandpoint beat Timberlake and Timberlake beat Moscow. Disregard the Bulldogs’ 70-30 loss to Lake City last week.

Adams: Moscow 26-21. If this one were being played in Sandpoint I would give the nod to the Bulldogs. But the Bears should jump-start their offense, which has been bogged down.

Timberlake at Lakeland

(Friday, 7 p.m.)

Lee: Lakeland 32-16. I’ve won some with Lakeland and I’ve lost some with Lakeland. But the Hawks won’t disappoint Friday.

Adams: Lakeland 31-28. The last three installments of the Battle of the Lakes have seen point differentials of 7, 3 and 1 point. Lakeland has won those contests.

Lakeside at Newport

(Friday, 7 p.m.)

Lee: Lakeside 33-13. The Eagles are the second-best team in the NEA and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Adams: Lakeside 35-14. The Eagles should bounce back just fine after a disappointing loss to Freeman.

Chiawana at Lake City

(Friday, 7 p.m.)

Lee: Chiawana 42-30. I saw the Riverhawks last year in the state playoffs and they’re the real deal.

Adams: Lake City 30-21. The Louie-McGee brothers were a nonfactor last year against Chiawana. Not this time. .

Mead at Central Valley

(Friday, 7 p.m.)

Lee: CV 27-21. Injuries could play a big role. Mead is banged up.

Adams: CV 28-21. CV begins a tough stretch to close out the regular season, but I like the Bears’ chances playing at home.

East Valley at West Valley

(Friday, 5 p.m.)

Lee: EV 28-6. Spokane Valley pride will be on the line in this one.

Adams: EV 28-13. The Knights are starting to put it all together.
