Predictions: Look for Parkview to stay hot in 8-AAAAAA

Parkview pulled off the national upset of the week last Friday and blew the Region 8-AAAAAA race wide open with its 22-7 victory over Grayson, which was ranked No. 1 in two national polls. Now the Panthers face an Archer team that suffered a heart-breaking loss to Brookwood last week but routed Parkview last season to earn a playoff berth. Look for Parkview to recover from its big upset in time to win a close one, and expect Grayson, Central Gwinnett and South Gwinnett to win the region’s other games.

And congratulations go out to Terrence Bruce of Hartwell, who was last week’s winner in the High School Football Pickoff contest. Bruce was the only contestant to correctly pick the winner in 13 of 15 games. Click here to sign up and participate in this week’s contest.
