This week’s picks include Campolindo at Acalanes, Live Oak at Christopher, Antioch at Pittsburg and Leigh at Westmont.
Acalanes’ Jack Giorgianni dives to score a touchdown while being tackled by Las Lomas’ Colby Cooley in the fourth quarter of their game at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, Calif., on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023. Acalanes defeated Las Lomas 34-14. In the 11th and final week of the regular season, we pick 16 more games or, as we chat about in our video roundtable, jinx/motivate 16 more teams.
Mike Lefkow, who raised eyebrows last week when he stated that Serra’s 2023 team might be the Bay Area’s best of all time, did not walk back his thoughts even though the Padres didn’t rout Valley Christian on Friday.“I don’t regret what I said at all,” Lefkow said. “In fact, I still think that way. People were talking about the problems that Serra had last week in beating Valley Christian. I think that was a good victory for Serra. I’m sorry. Maybe I’m a little different.
“But when it was 14-13 in the third quarter, they scored the last 10 points in the game. They had a two-score victory. They had a good victory against a good team, a good program. They played that game at Valley Christian. And as you’ve pointed out, the last four times that Serra has played there, they won by no more than 11 points in any of those games.”
Lefkow and Joseph Dycus went 10-6 last week. I went 9-7. My lead in the season standings is seven over Lefkow and 18 over Dycus. The games we pick this week include Campolindo at Acalanes, Live Oak at Christopher, Antioch at Pittsburg, Leigh at Westmont and Monte Vista at San Ramon Valley.
