You have been taking extra You Pick'Em courses on the weekend, reading Viva Loudoun You Pick'Em for Dummies, consulting the psychic on Route 29 outside of Charlottesville (come on, you know you want to stop one of these times!) and are ready to pick the winner's of the local high school football games (complete the form below!) and if you win for the week ... you will get a Viva Loudoun T-shirt ... the ultimate holiday day gift for your BFF.
Each week we will keep your record and at the end of the year the top player will get $100 in their pocket and $100 given to their local Loudoun high school of choice (hey, our site is called Viva Loudoun ... not Viva Hanover ...). Runner-up gets $50 and third place gets $25.
How do we have these cash prizes to give out ... it is because Gayle King of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty is our sponsor. If you see her ... THANK her! OPEN the door for her! BUY her a cup of Joe!
Fine print: So I'm going to go ahead and give you the answers and why these teams will win:
D6: L.C. Bird ... obviously "Bird is the Word" and as a bonus I believe L.C. stands for "Love Chewbacca" ... or "Love Championships!"
D5: Come, on, Mickey Knows Football ... I was thinking at first that Lake Taylor was named for Coach Eric Taylor of Friday Night Lights but I was mistaken and let's face it, in Thompson, Loudoun really has their version of Coach Taylor ... and you never bet against Dillon (or East Dillon).
D4: They have a quarterback named Trace and are trying to win a third straight state title ... Trace ... Trey ... It's a done deal. Charlie Pierce has a way of getting his boys prepped for this long rode trip, which seems so much shorter on the celebratory ride home ... give or take the one or two deer you hit outside of Lynchburg ...
D3: For some reason, James Monroe High School wants to be called The James Monroe High School and VHSL is actually using that in its releases ...I'm sorry but if they insist on dong that I'm going to just call them The State Runner-up to Brookville ...
D2: How can you go against the Gooch ... they rule their land ... you know, Goochland ... Besides, one of our favorite athletes of all time was Tiny Gooch, who at the University of Texas in the 1920s was a discus champion, heavyweight wrestling champion and a standout Longhorn football player at a Texas-size height of 6-7, which was huge back then!
D1: At first I was going with Honaker because Hanukkah starts on Dec. 8 at sundown but then I realized I was confusing some spelling but I like the sound of Honaker ... tough sounding ... they play in the Black Diamond District ... that's tough ... Heath Miller, NFL tight end, is an alum ... can't get much tougher ... They are the Tigers ... that is tough, just ask Pi ...
