(2-5) Defiance at Celina (1-6)

Game of the week: There is no game between what most people consider the top 4, let’s just go with the best combined records of Wapak and Bath. It could be judgment day for Bath as it has the top 3 teams in the league left on its schedule, with its best win so far being a solid win over 4-3 Elida but nothing else.

Last week there was a huge development as the top two in the standings failed to make picks, giving a possible reprieve to the big group of people that were tied for 6th. Only 16 people made picks, the lowest of the year by two, and just 13 people remain on the all-week list. It was an easy week as only 3 sets of picks weren’t perfect, two people picked Defiance and one picked Shawnee. Previously tied for 3rd, CougarFan4Life’s 4-1 selections fell one game behind NoHomer10’s perfect record for the overall lead. I went back several years and looked, and for the first time in several years there are fewer all-week pickers than people who have missed at least one week. St. Marys over Kenton, O-G over Celina, and Wapak over Elida were all unanimous picks. It doesn’t look like any games were even close either on Friday night, except Bath over Defiance.

St. Marys - Better all round
OG - Should be a good game
Van Wert - Not much to say
Wapak - Might to closer than expected
Defiance - Oh Wow... Don't remember last time I correctly picked Defiance to win.
 
St. Marys - has been playing well since its second loss.
O-G - the toughest part of the schedule is not yet over for Shawnee.
Van Wert - biggest mismatch of the WBL season.
Wapak - same record, but the level of play is clear between these two teams.
Defiance - yes. I am picking Defiance.
