Are you ready for another round of picks?

Collins Hill at : The winner of this game will likely earn the No. 3 seed in Region 7-AAAAA. Norcross (6-2, 3-2) had been rolling along until three weeks ago, then lost consecutive games to North Gwinnett and Peachtree Ridge, dashing its region title hopes. Collins Hill (4-4, 3-2), which was 1-3 at one point, has been playing its best football of the season and has won three of four. With its multi-faceted offensive talent, Norcross has the capability of beating nearly anyone. Norcross gets a homefield edge. Norcross 30, Collins Hill 27.

at Mountain View: The 0-8 Meadowcreek Mustangs got a bump in confidence by scoring 21 points in a 48-21 loss to Norcross last week, even though it came after the game had already been decided and that Norcross had mostly reserves on the field. With Collins Hill on the schedule next week, this is Meadowcreek’s last chance at victory. But Mountain View (2-6) is better than its record. Mountain View 24, Meadowcreek 8.
