Week 7 Bay Area high school football predictions: How’d we do?

Lefkow is nearly perfect for the weekend, pads season lead in our weekly, all-for-fun competition.

Mike Lefkow had another terrific week in our high school football pick ‘em competition, winning 11 of 12 games.

That included two bonus games, which Lefkow needed to match me in games chosen for the season.

We have now picked 48 games apiece.

He is an astonishing 43-5; I am a less astonishing 39-9.

Lefkow’s only loss this weekend happened to be one of my two defeats as we both had San Ramon Valley beating Foothill.

Foothill won 23-3.

I also picked Clayton Valley Charter to beat California.

Cal won 17-14.
