Last week: I went 9-2. Not bad. But I have made my division predictions and according to me, we’ll have two divisional champs in Rosemead and Rio Hondo Prep. My wrong picks this week were: San Gabriel (lost to La Serna) and Muir (lost to Diamond Ranch).
This week: Game of the Week is an obvious pick. I will be covering MD Classic II. Marquise Williams vs. Jordan Canada. Who will out duel one another? Who will lead their team to the semifinals to face Rosemead? The pick here goes to Monrovia.
Friday’s games with predictions:
Monrovia at Duarte, 7:30 p.m. — Melendez (Monrovia)
San Dimas at Rosemead, 7:30 p.m. — Melendez (Rosemead)
Temple City at Azusa, 7:30 p.m. — Melendez (Temple City)
Rio Hondo Prep at Boron, 7 p.m. — Melendez (Rio Hondo Prep)
