High School Football Picks: Week 7

Foothill Beats Centennial, 31-15

Steve Marcus

Centennial quarterback Victor Plotnikov (4) dives into the end zone for a touchdown during a football game against Foothill at Foothill High School in Henderson Friday, Sept. 2, 2022.

Green Valley won Henderson Bowl last week. I pegged Basic.

Palo Verde rallied to beat Foothill. I had Foothill.

And Canyon Springs humbled Legacy. Yep, I had Legacy.

The picks column went 12-4 in Week 6 — my worst effort of the season — in falling to 85-17 overall on the season.
