Prep football Pick 6: Greg Lee and Sam Adams pick this week’s top games
We got more right than we got wrong last week, and we split in the two games we differed. So we remain tied overall.
That will all change this week. We only disagree on one game.
KHQ/SWX sports director Sam Adams and yours truly will keep this going through the playoffs as long as we have area teams alive.
How competitive are this week’s six games that we picked? Well, we could have differed on all six. It’s easily the toughest week for us to pick all season.
It could be a rough week overall for us. I see at least five games capable of going to the wire.
Last week: Adams 4-2 (28-14 overall), Lee 4-2 (28-14).
Moscow at Lakeland
(Friday, 7 p.m.)
Lee: Lakeland 30-14. Lakeland is clearly the best team in the 4A IEL.
Adams: Lakeland 35-12. Since being held to nine points against Cheney, Lakeland’s offense has been on a roll.
Pullman at East Valley
(Friday, 7 p.m.)
Lee: EV 23-21. I’m conflicted after West Valley knocked off the Knights last week. Just goes to show that anything can happen in the GNL.
Adams: EV 42-34. EV’s big-play threats were nullified by some questionable officiating at WV, but they’ll get back on track Friday.
Cheney at West Valley
(Friday, 7 p.m.)
Lee: WV 30-20. Eagles coach Craig Whitney doesn’t need to have the paperboy on standby this week.
Adams: WV 38-35. The rivalry win last week was just what the Eagles needed coming down the stretch.
Shadle Park at Central Valley
(Friday, 7 p.m.)
Lee: Shadle 36-24. This won’t have a 67-yard field goal and Brett Rypien won’t throw for more than 500 yards. But this should be entertaining nonetheless.
Adams: Shadle 35-28. Unless there’s a blend of Miracle-Gro that grows grass up to 5 feet tall at CV, I don’t see the Bears slowing down the Highlanders’ attack.
Gonzaga Prep vs. Mt. Spokane
(Friday, Albi, 7:30 p.m.)
Lee: Mt. Spokane 27-21. I called for a Mt. Spokane win over Mead earlier this year, so why not a second Upset Special?
Adams: G-Prep 42-35. This one might come down to the final whistle.
Coeur d’Alene at Lake City
(Friday, 7 p.m.)
Lee: CdA 33-27. I picked CdA to win the league, so I have to pick CdA here.
Adams: CdA 48-40. The unfortunate part about this game is only one of these teams will make it to the playoffs.
