Chucky Buckles’ Week 2 Football Picks
Jackson High @ Lumen Christi (2013 Promise Bowl): Titans still angry over having to drive two-plus hours to Buchanan last week only to play two quarters before lightning scuttled the second half.

PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI Hanover-Horton @ East Jackson: Comets team bus gets stuck in Wendy’s parking lot on East Michigan Ave waiting for spicy chicken sandwiches. They arrive at EJ just before kickoff.

Selby Track & Field Classic, where she is now an unprecedented four-time winner of the Outstanding Female Performer Award and it’s breathtaking. She is that fluid, that smooth, that impressive… Cierra doesn’t enter track meets – she dominates them. And when faced with an obstacle (or a hurdle to use a track term) she clears it.

During the basketball season this winter she severely sprained the ligaments in her right ankle, making it difficult to get that dynamic lift. Undaunted, Cierra simply started jumping off her left foot. It’s a change that the untrained eye would never notice, but to an athlete it’s significant.
