Gate's Week Seven Picks

[ReturnOfTheGate]

Rebound week of sorts for the GateLine, even if Appo made me look foolish for picking against them for the second straight week. A lot of intrigue in the 2A/1A portion of the schedule as Lake and Caravel battle tonightfor positioning in 2A District 3, and DMA looks to put a lock on the District 1 crown at St. Mark's Friday night. Saturday, Tatnall and Wilmington Charter will play in a meaningful game for 1A District 1 positioning and I feel like that's the point of this realignment - almost every school still has something to play for leading up to and after Halloween. So far, so good. Let's get to pickin'.

Last week: 16-4
2021 overall: 105-33

Best pick: Mt. Pleasant 24, Brandywine 18 (Mt. Pleasant won 14-7)

Friends over Howard an interesting pick

Howard lost a couple of linemen during the DMA game last week. Not sure if those guys will be back and healthy and Hollingsworth was hobbled as well. If there's a chance for Friends to get Howard, it's this week.
