I will be making my picks in the Daily News Pigskin Pick’em throughout the season. I had a good week, posting a 6-1 record in week 0 action. The only game I missed was La Mirada’s victory over St. Paul.
We have a full schedule this week with three games set for Thursday. The big Thursday game is La Mirada (1-0) at La Habra (1-0). Friday’s slate of games is headlined by St. Paul’s home opener against Mater Dei.
