AA Varsity Week Three
Week Two Wrap
Windsor did not leave any doubt in their 2017 debut versus Pitt Meadows en-route to a 54-7 romp. No slow starts this year for the Dukes! Things came down to the wire for Vernon as they tangled with a superb Cochrane Alberta squad. Hugh Boyd got themselves a quality win over Bateman and Langley is putting a lot of points on the board. You gotta love Fulton getting its first win over Omak WA! Well done Maroons!!

GI's Picks
Friday 22nd
Rutland (AAA) @ Clarence Fulton: I am going with Clarence Fulton in this one. A big win last week against US competition shows they are primed to make a run in the Interior. GI's Pick: Fulton by 10
John Barsby vs Spectrum: Barsby beware! Spectrum has come of age on the Island and is playing really good football. The Thunder have good numbers and are playing with an edge. This said, Barsby improved from week 1 to week 2 across the board and the Dawgs are showing some promising things in terms of team play. GI's Pick: Barsby by 14
Hugh Boyd @ Vernon: Double A game of the week right here folks. The Trojans are 2-0 and have been playing some stellar ball. Vernon at home is always, always tough and their week 2 loss was by the narrowest of margins vs one of the best programs in Alberta. GI's Pick: Vernon by 8
Robert Bateman @ West Vancouver (AAA): I think Bateman gets their first win of the year on Friday. The Timberwolves are improving week-to-week and they have a good bunch of athletes on the roster. GI's Pick: Bateman by 7
Windsor @ Abbottsford: Abbey gets its first taste of AA competition this week and it is going to be a major challenge against a Windsor squad just licking its chops for this one. The Dukes are very, very balanced offensively and two years ago were up to the task in the JV semi's of shutting down one of BC's best running backs. I don't see a change in this version of the series. GI's Pick: Dukes by 16
Handsworth (AAA) @ Holy Cross: Both of these teams are looking to rebound from a pounding in week 2. I believe that Handsworth has the deeper roster of the two and the speed/size match-ups are similar. GI's Pick: Royals by 17
Ballenas @ Nanaimo District (AAA): The Whalers have been frustrated in fairly close games week 1 and 2. The Islanders have been short benched in their opening couple of rounds. Size to the Whalers and all else is a pretty good match-up. GI's Pick: Whalers by 18
Frank Hurt @ Westsyde: This one goes to the home team. Westsyde has a more mature roster and has been playing good scrappy ball thus far. GI's Pick: Westsyde by 14
Eric Hamber @ Pitt Meadows: Good match-up here. I am going to give this one to Eric Hamber on a couple big pass plays. GI's Pick: Hamber by 7
Saturday 23rd
Nechako Valley @ Duchess Park: This game will be close for two and a half quarters until the depth of the Condor roster has a say. GI's Pick: Duchess by 8
Valleyview @ Argyle: Valleyview continues to travel and play quality competition. This week they will again get all they can handle vs Argyle. The Pipers are going to rebound in a big way from their game last week here. Look for lots of scoring in this one sided affair. GI's Pick: Argyle by 30
Sunday 24th
Prince George @ College Heights: Good match-up in the Northern Conference on Sunday. Prince George has the best backfield north of Vernon and a good crew on both sides of the ball to accompany them. GI's Pick: Polars by 17
Gridiron's AA Junior Varsity Top 5
