The week of Sept. 4

Brewer's Picks
Last Week:
13-1

Season:
13-1

Brewer vs. Silver

Las Vegas Sun reporters Ray Brewer and
Steve Silver attempt to pick
the winning team from prep contests
across the Las Vegas area.

Silver's Picks
Last Week:
10-4

Season:
10-4

Desert Pines too athletic for a Basic squad short on speed.
Desert Pines 42, Basic 17

I'm still waiting for my "Brewer loves Basic" shirt. Jaguars roll in this one.
Desert Pines 34, Basic 14

The two schools have played each other every year since opening together in the mid-1990s and Palo Verde has won every meeting.
Palo Verde 50, Mojave 0

Palo Verde is always a safe bet. Mojave better get the ice baths ready.
Palo Verde 42, Mojave 7

Clark tailback Andre Clay will run past the Grizzlies. Guaranteed.
Clark 29, Spring Valley 15

Anton Stallworth is the real deal.
Spring Valley 20, Clark 17

It will be closer than you think, but coach Carmona will pick up a win in his first game with the Warriors.
Western 19, Pahrump 12

I love the Pahrump Winery, but Western bottle up this victory.
Western 20, Pahrump 14

Bonanza's offense finds its stride.
Bonanza 33, Sierra Vista 12

Bonanza let me down last week, but all is forgotten when they drop an inexperienced Sierra Vista squad.
Bonanza 31, Sierra Vista 17

The Aggies could be this year's surprise team. They'll prove it against Centennial.
Arbor View 34, Centennial 16

Centennial will feel the pain of Green Valley's fake field goal for another week.
Arbor View 28, Centennial 20

Northwest Division rivalry game is lopsided in Spartans' favor.
Cimarron 41, Cheyenne 6

Stephen Nixon can run 100 yards before you're even done reading this sentence.
Cimarron 35, Cheyenne 13

Durango is much improved, but doesn't have enough weapons to challenge Gorman.
Gorman 42, Durango 12

Bishop Gorman won't face a real challenge until the playoffs.
Gorman 48, Durango 18

Legacy spoils Faith Lutheran 4A debut.
Legacy 32, Faith Lutheran 13

Faith Lutheran isn't ready for the big show just yet.
Legacy 28, Faith Lutheran 10

Las Vegas sophomores Henderson and Victor have another monster day.
Las Vegas 42, Snow Canyon 15

I will never pick a Utah team.
Las Vegas 55, Snow Canyon 14

Always take a California team against a Nevada team.
Bonita Vista 39, Shadow Ridge 16

I flipped a coin on this one. Sorry Mustangs.
Bonita Vista 30, Shadow Ridge 18

Desert Oasis doesn't play like a second year school.
Desert Oasis 23, Canyon View 18

What is with all of these Utah teams? Send 'em packing Desert Oasis.
Desert Oasis 21, Canyon View 14

  1. Mr. Brewer: The 90's called and wants it's soul patch back!

  2. play nice Jenny....clever name by the way

  3. @ Jenny Tull

    Third grade grammar quizzes called and they want their apostrophe back.

    You might want to than "it's" means "it is". Here is a quick song penned by the great Strong Bad to help you remember when to use an apostrophe:

    "If you want it to be possessive, it's just 'I-T-S. But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's 'I-T-apostrophe-S."

  4. Dan's Week 2 Picks:

    4A Southwest League
    Spring Valley 33, Clark 7
    Western 34, Pahrump Valley 6
    Bonanza 24, Sierra Vista 14
    Bishop Gorman 41, Durango 14

    4A Northwest League
    Cimarron-Memorial 35, Cheyenne 6
    Legacy 40, Faith Lutheran 10
    Palo Verde 50, Mojave 6

    Moapa Valley 33, Hurricane (UT) 20
    Virgin Valley 30, Cedar City (UT) 14

    Last Week: 12-4 (.714)

  5. Correction on my percentage from last week. Should be .750. Don't know how .714 got on there, lol.

  6. You guys dont know anything. Basic is gonna go all the way this year. By The Way they won 25-6

  7. Brewer, you need a new job. On your Clark vs. Spring Valley pick;
    quote:" Clark tailback Andre Clay will run past the Grizzlies. Guaranteed."

    Clay had 8 carries for 7 yds. GUARANTEED!!!

    Why to go Silver's on picking not only the winner, but the kid who ran for the winning TD - Stallworth. Your like Jimmy The Greek.

  8. Thank you so much for catching and correcting my sloppy mistake, reagan21. Rest assured I will redouble my effort to be as perfect as you and NEVER make a mistake.

    Oh, wait ... you wrote, "You might want to than "it's" means "it is". In addition to that sentence not making any sense, the period at the end of it belongs inside the quotation marks.

    Thanks for writing.

  9. To the 2 English majors...THIS IS A FOOTBALL BLOG!!! GET IT!!!

  10. Where's Del Sol in all this, I know they split up the divisions so i'm curious, nothing on the news page either.
