Chucky is cloaked in impressiveness after getting back on track last weekend with another 10-2 week of picks. The quest for perfection, however, continues and this week he feels really, really good about things. Plus, he won $5 on a scratch-off. NORTHWEST @ LUMEN CHRISTI: After a pair of wins to start the season, the wheels are starting to wobble a little bit on the Mounties wagon. A match-up with Lumen Christi generally doesn’t help when this happens. Northwest invites the Titans to an all-you-can-eat pizza party at Klavon’s and schedules it for game time to throw LC off the path. The ploy doesn’t work. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI WESTERN @ LESLIE: Western lost a close one last week to Lansing Waverly, while the Blackhawks are still searching for that elusive first win. Leslie tries a little misdirection of their own by creating signs in art class to send the Panther bus through a corn maize. Western isn’t fooled. PICK: WESTERN BLISSFIELD @ COLUMBIA CENTRAL: Controversy swirls when it’s announced there’s never actually been a Golden Eagle spotted in the Brooklyn area. Blissfield is confused because they’re the Royals and, well, no one really knows what a Royal is. PICK: COLUMBIA…

Saturday 1pm and 7pm and Sunday 3:30pm WESTERN at LESLIE Saturday 3:30pm and 9:30pm and Sunday 9:30pm NORTHWEST at LUMEN CHRISTI Sunday 1pm and 7pm MICHIGAN CENTER at GRASS LAKE (from week 3)

Chucky is humiliated and offers a formal apology to everyone after last week’s picks, which were far below his normal high stand of around 83% success. A 7-5 weekend has convinced him that changes need to be made, starting with picking against Springport – which he vows never to do again. So, just as the cruise ship Costa Concordia was hauled off a reef and righted once again, so to shall Chucky Buckles in his quest for pick perfection. LUMEN CHRISTI @ CHARLOTTE: Charlotte looked unstoppable in their first two games (both wins) but came back down to earth in a loss to Eaton Rapids last weekend. In a surprise move, the Orioles coaching staff invites the Akron football team in to give a pre-game pep talk. Sadly, the Zips leave without finishing the job and this carries over. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI EAST JACKSON @ VANDERCOOK LAKE: The Jayhawks surprise EJ by claiming that, in lieu of a football game, they will settle their differences in a fish-eating contest at the Bone Island Grill. By the time the Trojans realize they’ve been duped, they’ve already consumed a half ton of fish and are extremely sluggish. PICK: VANDERCOOK LAKE EATON RAPIDS…

With a second straight impressive week at 10-2, Chucky Buckles proudly flaunts a 20-4 record after two weeks. Overall, that’s about 83% or a solid B- if he were back in school.   MICHIGAN CENTER @ GRASS LAKE: In an act seldom seen at the high school level, the entire Cardinals team parachutes into the stadium before the game to avoid the traffic congestion for what should be the area’s premier regular season matchup. Center’s flare for the big play – especially on offense – gives them the edge. Drum roll please… PICK: MICHIGAN CENTER WESTERN @ LUMEN CHRISTI: Panther bus gets turned around and hopelessly lost on the new service road on their campus, causing fans to worry. Titan players offer to help, but only make it as far as McCarski’s Café before stopping for donut dots. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI VANDERCOOK LAKE @ MANCHESTER : Vandy battle cry of ‘rock chalk Jayhawk’ is quickly silenced when they realize a Flying Dutchmen is an old, old pirate ghost ship that may or may not still be sailing the seven seas looking for a port. A spooky old ghost ship always wins. PICK: MANCHESTER HANOVER-HORTON @ ADDISON: The Comets are off…
