Chucky’s week #2 record of 6-3 isn’t all that bad, folks. And he celebrated by giving himself a nice bathing, complete with uncomfortable hairballs. On to week #3, and with it success… always, success… Hillsdale @ Columbia Central: JTV’s Lisa Spampinato (of ‘In the Kitchen’ fame) tries to fire up the Eagles with a delicious pre-game pasta dish but the plan backfires when CC -now duly fed – appear quite sluggish. PICK: Hillsdale Grass Lake @ Michigan Center: Rather than risk injury, these two rivals engage in a carp catching contest at Center Lake instead of playing a football game. The plan backfires when they all turn ankles getting off the bus. PICK: Grass Lake Addison @ Hanover-Horton: Two recent cougar sightings in the Hanover area have Comet fans on edge.

This messes with their depth perception, however, and the Eagles take full advantage. PICK: Columbia Central Hanover-Horton @ Concord: Chucky is certain the Comets are going to make some noise this year, so why not in week #1? Plus, the Yellow Jacket community is still excited that Concord grad Courtney Clark won the Jackson County Rose Queen pageant. Chucky is excited, too, but doesn’t see how that helps the football team. PICK: Hanover-Horton Grass Lake @ Dundee: The Beef Jerky Outlet Store is in Dundee, which really doesn’t factor into this article at all. But peppered is probably the best…
