Serious face, silly picks.
Did you pick the Timberline Blazers to upset the Lincoln Abes last week? No? Well five year old Addie and her foolproof system of picking local high school football games did. In fact she went 7-3 last week and is now 24-15 overall this season. Pretty darn good if I do say so myself. This week, her 2 1/2 year old sister, Rory, is right there once again with her own method of picking and possibly distracting.
Here are all of tonight’s games on the schedule, complete with radio information and my girl’s expert picks…

Addie’s pick: Wolves
Rory’s pick: Bearcats
“The Wolves are gonna call a bigger team that they have. Then they’re gonna run in and bite the Bearcats when they aren’t looking. If one of the Bearcats is trying to get the Wolves, another Wolf will sneak up and bite off its tail.” – Addie
“They are gonna eat them again.” – Rory
Tenino Beavers vs. LaCenter Wildcats
Tenino Stadium – 7:00 PM
Addie’s pick: Wildcats

North Thurston Rams @ Capital Cougars
Ingersoll Stadium – 7:00 PM – Radio: Eli Sports Network

Highclimbers Stadium – 7:00 PM – Radio: KMAS
Addie’s pick: Abes

Here’s a lock: T-Birds #1
Five places in the Oly Sports Power Rankings are obvious: Tumwater is first, Oly is second, Rochester is third, Rainier is 11th and Shelton is 12th. Those are almost unarguable based on their winning or losing streaks. But after those spots, even I question my rankings. Am I crazy? A one win Capital team over a three win River Ridge? Well, winning steaks count and Capital is suddenly sitting in a playoff spot if the season were to end today.
Since I can’t completely explain my reasoning for those middle spots, I give you really bad haikus in my completely unscientific rankings and have added the awesome ScoreCzar computer predictions…

College of Idaho 2, Evergreen 1 – Recap
Bellevue 3, SPSCC 1 – Box score
Saint Martin’s held the #1 ranked team in the nation scoreless through the first half before finally allowing a goal in the first two minutes of the second half. The Clan would add an crucial insurance goal in the 68th minute and the Saints cut the lead to one when Rene Caro scored in the 83rd. But it was too little, too late as Simon Fraser held on for a 2-1 victory at SMU Soccer Field. The Saints fall to 3-2-1 in the GNAC.
The College of Idaho picked up just their second win of the season as the Evergreen men continue to struggle in Cascade Conference play. The Yotes got on the board in just the seventh minute and added a goal in the 64th minute before Sebastian Lyons scored for the Geoducks. Playing with just ten men after goalkeeper Mauricio Sanchez was shown a red card, Evergreen could not get the equalizer and dropped a 2-1 decision. They are now 2-3-1 in the CCC.
