We’re on to Week 4.
The Bay Area News Group’s Nathan Canilao, Christian Babcock, Mike Lefkow and Darren Sabedra pick 15 more games as the season (including playoffs) reaches the quarter pole.
All in fun, as always.
Babcock had another solid showing last week, picking 11 of 15 correctly to share top honors with me, and now leads the season standings by two games.
This week’s lineup includes De La Salle at Grant-Sacramento, San Ramon Valley at Clovis North, Foothill at San Leandro, The King’s Academy at Sacred Heart Prep and more.
In this week’s video podcast, the guys discuss the significance of Archbishop Riordan’s win last week over Pittsburg, Acalanes’ hot start and De La Salle’s dominant defense.
Be sure to check out the video below.
Now on to the games …
