Week 3: My 5 year old daughter’s expert high school football picks
Addie, scouting her picks
Kind of a rough week two for Addie as she went just 5-4 and is now 11-8 for the season. But that doesn’t deter her or her crack scientific system of prognostication. Nope, she just buckles down and, with the help of her little sister, gets right back on the horse. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!
Here is the entire week two high school football schedule, complete with radio information and Addie’s expert picks…

Yelm Tornadoes vs. Stadium Tigers

How not to tweet
What you see above is the Twitter timeline of an 18 year old local athlete that is off to play community college sports this season. This is just a sampling of how his Saturday night went.
I follow a lot of young athletes on Twitter, a couple of high school students and quite a few college students, and though most of them are actually pretty savvy when it comes to social media, sometimes I find some pretty stupid things.
This was probably the dumbest set of tweets I’ve ever seen from an athlete that I follow and it is a good opportunity to remind people that nothing you do online is private. He has his account set to protected but I followed him when I heard he was going to play sports in college before he protected his account. Even if you protect your account, anybody that followed you before you set it to protected can still see all your tweets. So I can see all of his drunk tweets, all of his tweets about smoking weed and all of his tweets about his coach. You know, the stuff he probably doesn’t want me, his parents, his coach or his future coaches/employers to see.
So please, tweet smart. Have fun, but take it easy.
