This week we continue to pick against and with the Dayton Daily News, Columbus Dispatch, Cincinnati Enquirer and Toledo Blade. Here’s who we say will wins the big games in each region…
DAYTON DAILY NEWS
Heading into Week 9 I’ve got a five-game lead on Greg Billing. Last week Greg nudged a little closer by going 17-3. I went 16-4. The best week, however, was turned in by WHIO TV’s Mike Hartsock who went 19-1 for the second time this year. Hartsock, the host of the Preps Insider, only missed on Coldwater’s win over Marion Local. As we head into the final two weeks, the competition remains between Greg and I. There’s also a battle brewing at the other end of the standings. Right now DDN Sports Editor Brian Kollars is in last place, one behind DDN writer Marc Pendleton. Who is going to place sixth and who is going to finish last?
Here’s how the standings sit after seven weeks:
1. Eric Frantz 132-28 (16-4 last week)
2. Greg Billing 127-33 (17-3)
3. Mike Hartsock 121-39 (19-1)
4. Kyle Nagel 115-45 (16-4)
5. Marc Pendleton 106-54 (15-5)
6. Brian Kollars 105-55 (15-5)
