Pete's Top-10: Final one of the year
It's the final week of the top ten and the season has flown by.
We started with warm weather back in August and now the harsh reality of winter coming signifies the end of pigskin dreams for many teams throughout the state.
However, we still have a few battles left this week and since we won't have a top ten next week, my two picks for the annual Thanksgiving day clashes will also be included.
I see Easton taking care of business all the way through Parkland and Phillipsburg next week. Rovers could be a legitimate opponent for District 12 in the state playoffs.
And lastly, I envision Northampton coming out as Turkey day victors over Catasauauqa this season.
Thanks for reading this year!
