PREDICTIONS
It has been 13 years since Jay has defeated Baker. Obama was president and the all-time leader in JHS wins Elijah Bell was roaming the sidelines for the Royals. Can Jay take care of business tonight? They appear to be poised to be able to move the ball and be the more balanced football team. But, do the Royals believe they can beat the Gators though? That will be answered Friday night. With all of that being said, Northsantarosa.com does believe. Jay 32 Baker 30
Pace and PHS will be over by halftime. Pace has lost two in a row, but it won’t matter. They’re much better than Pensacola. Blowout. 56-3 Pace.
Northsantarosa.com went 3-0 in picks last week! Record thus far is 8-6 in picks.
