Enough people have expressed interest, so I will give it a go and see how many participate each week. Here are the rules for the pick'em contest.

* Picks must be completed by the due date and time each week. If your post was either posted after that date and time, and/or edited after that time, it will not count and all games will be recorded as an automatic loss for the week
* You can choose to skip games if you want, but any games not picked will count as an automatic loss
* Each week's games will be posted on here by 8pm on the Sunday before the games. Example... Week one games will be posted by this Sunday (9/1/2019) 8pm.
* If you miss a week, or choose not to pick for a week, all games will be counted as loses
* Each week the games will consist of all contests involving 1A West Schools, as well as any contests involving Hampshire, Keyser and Frankfort. If you have a game you think should be added give me a heads up and I will take a look at it.

To get an early start on the contest, I have decided to include three games this week, all from the area West Virginia teams who get their seasons underway. I have named it as "Week 0" Pick'em because these games will not be counted against you. I will use these games/this week as a potential tiebreaker for the season champion should two people tie. Here are the games...


Preston @ Hampshire
Frankfort @ Moorefield
Keyser @ Robert C. Byrd

P.S... I know it is already Thursday but all these games are on Friday so picks are due on 8/30/2019 by 7PM E

Oh heck, I'll join in on the fun. I may at least know a little something about Catoctin and Brunswick lol. Thanks for putting this together again! I enjoyed my time doing this in the past, just don't have as much time to do it any more.

I know virtually nothing about WV football so here goes literally nothing....

Hampshire
Frankfort
Byrd
 
I’m glad you’re doing this, I think it’ll become really popular as the season goes on!

My picks will be:
Hampshire
Frankfort
Byrd
 
Well, just to get my hat in the ring and since they don't count on the season, gonna give a little local love and go Preston, Frankfort and Keyser . Preston has been so bad lately, but how does a school that big not have at least a decent football program? Maybe they will squeak one out here before having to face the big boys later in their schedule.
 
I am torn on all three games. Pretty good match ups to start the year.

Hampshire
Moorefield
Keyser
 
Hampshire
Frankfort
Byrd

Figured I’d flip a coin on not knowing much about the Keyser/Byrd matchup, gave Byrd the edge due to being home and winning last year. I figured it would be close, but Keyser stomped them 56-7

Well, in the abbreviated pick'em I went 3-0. But wow, Keyser really laid it on Robert C Byrd.
 
I can see Keyser possibly making it deep in playoffs this year, maybe semis. But there road will end when they meet Bluefield or Fairmont Sr. In that round. Bluefield has 4 division 1 prospects and should run the table in WV 2A this year
 
I was really surprised by the Keyser score as well. I did think they were going to win. But I thought it would be by two scores. Not seven. I inexplicably jumped on the Moorefield and Hampshire bandwagons.

Congrats to the 4 who had perfect nights. Look for results to be posted overnight. First week of games will go up on Sunday Morning.

Keyser and Frankfort margins of victory put me on notice. Could be a real good year for area football.
