Finally, I am able to return to CPL Pick Em. My apologies for being out. Before the sweet action that is the city playoffs kick off next week, we are blessed to get some CPL matchups for the state playoffs. Let's focus in on 3 and 4A, this week. Time to get down in serious prognosticator mode and lock in on #GRNDSZN. Let's go!
HANSBERRY @ Byron Saturday 1 PM
There's nothing more exciting than a Bengel Tiger matchup! Decisive, aggressive, ready to punch each other in the throat is for sure a good sign for our first pick. Problem with Hansberry being the Bengels, is that they are not embracing the Berry roots that have made them CPL famous. Embrace the blue, go full Blue Berries. Until then, that's just way too forgetful and soft. No shocker here. Tigers roll
Stillman Valley @ NOBLE JOHNSON 7PM @ Gately
First two matchups include Noble schools, will never make me not think of my good friend Noble Tony, aka North Shore Tony, aka, Pedals Tony. Guy is an absolute special teams junky. Any game we take in together he's always talking about alleys, that guy needs to be there, or there, now get here. What a lunatic, can't ever make up his mind unless its about pre-game beef sticks and cheese. With him in mind and the regular doubt in everyone's minds about CPL and their state playoff victories you better believe we're going with big wood. Johnson lays it down.
Prairie Central @ NORTH LAWNDALE Saturday 1 PM @ Lane
An opportunity to talk about the Phoenix and how they are always rising to challenges? Check. An opportunity to bash the trash concrete dump that is Lane stadium at it's rarely working bathrooms? Check Saturday afternoon, with the opportunity for CPS to randomly throw a bnch of other CPL game at said stadium to show off their 'crown jewel'? Check. Hope Prairie Central fans hit up the Wendy's McDonald's or Popeye's nearby, that will be their only shot at relief after that long drive. PHOENIX!
Sullivan vs Clinton @ Sullivan Saturday 1:30PM
Wait this isn't the CPL Sullivan? Damn it... Pass
Dyett vs Ag Science Saturday 11 am Gately
Get the tailgates ready early! Grills fired up for breakfast in the backfield of the endzone?!? Yes, please. Hot CPL on CPL action in round 1? Gurantees a CPL winner, and ask much as I love the Farmers, harvest season has past. Fly Eagles Fly! Go Dyett
Wheaton Academy vs. Phoenix Friday 8 pm
The opportunity to talk about another CPL Phoenix game? Check. Another opportunity to rise from the ashes? Check. Academy burns em early. Leaving it little too late for the ashes to allow a comeback. Wheeeeeaton!
Bonus 6A Pick
Hubbard @ Richards Friday 6:30pm
Hubbard is licking their chops to play CPL Richards in round 1. Oh wait, that's not CPL either? Got me again. This pick? It doesn't MATHER!
