Game Predictions (Week 9)

In only two weeks, Andy Resnik has had his seven-game lead over Jarrod Ulrey trimmed to one.

Resnik could play it safe and follow Ulrey’s picks, but he’s having none of that. The two leaders differ on three games this week. Ulrey is feeling rather confident after his 13-2 week (96-24 overall) as he was the only one to pick Westerville Central to upset undefeated Hilliard Darby. Resnik went 10-5 to move to 97-23 overall.

The other race is for third as five panelists are within two games – John Hulkenberg (91-29 overall, 10-5 last week), Patrick Dolan (90-30, 8-7), Aaron Blankenship (90-30, 11-4), Don Delco (89-31, 9-6) and JJHuddle.com managing editor Eric Frantz (89-31, 10-5).

Rounding out the group are Scott Hennen (87-33, 10-5), Lee Cochran (86-34, 12-3) and Brad Emerine (84-36, 9-6). Based on percentages, Dave Purpura (68-22, 10-5) figures into the lineup at fourth.
