With Week One of the high school football season in the Bucks County area kicking off Friday, it's time for the Bucks County Courier Times and Intelligencer sports staff to begin their annual season-long predictions battle.
Last season, Tom Moore won the competition with a 165-56 mark, followed by Drew Markol (163-58) and Melissa Hanejko (159-62).
Who will win this season? We'll find that out in December. For now, we're all 0-0 and optimistic.
Enough yapping. Let's get to the picks.
