Oh, and then they both went and won with Baker picking Stone Bridge 24-17 to beat Westfield, just off by four points, enough to edge Tim Lieb (24-21) and Jason "The Oracle" Treon (17-14).
Ryder -- entering fourth grade at Sanders Corner this year -- picked Broad Run by only 28-17 ... and most other people had Broad Run scoring more and Heritage less. Dave Scarangella of www.dullesdistrict.com finished runner-up with a 35-13 pick. Walter McCowat was third at 35-17.
This is Ryder' second win all-time (the last time he won ... Baker also won ... go figure!) and he boasted this weekend that he would catch Treon for the all-time lead before he enters middle school.
"Heck, I'll also take his lunch money as well!," said a cocky Sousa.
(Full disclosure: I may have made that last part up but do you have to tell the truth in blogs? I better check with my new lawyer Sue M. Big)
Baker -- famous in our household for her "Shoot It" chants during one much-too-fun freshmen basketball season -- has now won five times all-time.
So ... Will you let a kid that still thinks Pokemon are real ... win two weeks in a row!?! Come on football fans, give us your best picks for the following games of the week. You can leave the final score and winner in the comments line or just email Ryder's dad at dan.sousa[at]verizon.net
