You Pick'em: Walking the (Sam) Plank with an "Almost" Perfect Pick; Dawson Calls the Heartbreak

You Pick'em Plaza (Nov. 13, 2009) - Stone Bridge High School baseball coach Sam Plank was happy to see me at Taylor Lambke's college baseball signing Wednesday ... sure the Bulldog skipper was happy about his player headed to GW but he was really gloating about his perfect 28-7 pick of Stone Bridge over South Lakes last week.

Only ... shhhhh ... wait a second ... Sam: please leave the room ... OK, you see he actually sent in 35-7 ... and that was still good enough to win!

I just don't have the heart to tell him he wasn't perfect ... more like a 1-hitter.

Greg Dawson foretold heartache, picking James Wood over Loudoun County, 24-21, and sure enough, there was a bad ending for the Raiders, falling 27-25 and that left Dawson a winner!

This week's three You Pick'Em games ... that's right ... triple the fun!

Fine print: Employees of VivaLoudoun, if there were any employees, would be eligible to play. Friends and family are eligible to play except for my mother visiting from California, sorry mom, you can not play. Any fans of the movie New Moon can not play ... OK, just teasing, I don't want them to sic a vampire on me. The VHSL braintrust that schedules state playoff volleyball head-to-head with regional playoff football can not play and must drop down and give me 20 push-ups. Now!
