Chucky had a rough weekend after being convinced he had contracted the Ebola virus. Turns out, he’d just swallowed a moth.
Columbia Central @ Blissfield: Blissfield’s team name is the Royals and they may draw some inspiration from baseball’s Kansas City Royals – but probably not. PICK: Columbia Central
Concord @ Athens: In an effort to keep their team from suffering any more injuries, Yellow Jacket coaches encase the team bus in bubble wrap for the drive to Athens. The ploy works. PICK: Concord
Okemos @ Jackson: The Chiefs stop at that new Speedway Convenience Store on Wisner before heading over to the game and stock up on .52 ounce Club Chill sodas. Man, those are sure tasty. PICK: Okemos
Napoleon @ Addison: Confusion reigns when someone replaces the game ball with a small pumpkin. PICK: Napoleon
Vandercook Lake @ Hanover-Horton: The Comets are confused when, at the beginning of the game, they get dizzy staring at those weird feathers on the Vandy helmets. The dizziness passes just in time. PICK: H-H
Western @ Harper Creek: A Western fan turns loose a live panther before the game as a joke. No one’s laughing, however, when it eats all of the food at the concession stand and throws up in the end zone. PICK: Harper Creek
Pennfield @ Northwest: Proof of alien life in the universe takes place at halftime when a huge UFO lands at midfield. However it interferes with the marching bands routine and is booed back into space. PICK: Pennfield
Manchester @ Grass Lake: The Dutch are still stinging from a loss to Grass Lake in last year’s playoffs. Sadly, they learn the stinging is actually from a hornet that got stuck in their shorts. PICK: Manchester
Hillsdale @ Onsted: Petoskey resident Chris Godfrey makes the four hour trek in a Lincoln Town Car and erects a creepy scarecrow near the football field and most people stay clear of it. Sadly, it makes off with a trombone player in the third quarter. Not sure what that was all about. PICK: Hillsdale
Stockbridge @ Olivet: Stockbridge allowed 64 points last week – and still won. Nothing else to put here. That stat just sort of boggles the mind. PICK: Olivet
Coldwater @ Lumen Christi: The Titans are 26-0 all-time against Coldwater. That has to end sometime, right? I mean, doesn’t it? PICK: LC
