As I sit here typing this, it's 40 degree's outside and I'm contemplating if I should turn my portable heater on next to me. Well, if there was doubt before, there is no doubt now. Fall is here.
And as fall arrives, we get into the thick of the New Hampshire High School season, where early season rust is shaken out and games start to mean more. And that philosophy applies to our staff pick's. Reed Grubbs (9-11) and Justin McIsaac (10-10) have fallen behind early but there are still plenty of games to catch up. But they will have to choose their games wisely because Dave Haley, Pete Tarrier, and Jon Kesty (all tied at 14-6) aren't playing games this year with staff pick's.
We will be covering three games this weekend. Pete and Jon will be traveling up to Lebanon (I love going up there by the way) as they take on John Stark.
I will be with the tag team of Dave and Justin (you should have seen these two at my wedding) as Winnacunnet makes the trek into Portsmouth.
And then on Saturday, Pete and Dave will have LIVE coverage of Timberlane at Goffstown. A link will be provided on the site so you can sit at home on your computer or smart phone and watch two of the top teams in Division I duke it out.
