I'll be honest, this year's picks have been a relative struggle as there are so many teams I'm having trouble getting a handle on. Teams look good one week and then follow that up by losing in a game that seemed like a sure thing.

We are all the way to Week 6 at this point, so I'm hoping the second half can be a march toward at least a .750 winning percentage by the end of the season and last week was at least a step in the right direction.

Here goes (home team in CAPS):

Friday
NORTHAMPTON over Holyoke
Amherst over CHICOPEE COMP
Easthampton over LUDLOW
BELCHERTOWN over Mahar
SOUTH HADLEY over Chicopee
East Longmeadow over WESTFIELD
Longmeadow over CENTRAL
MINNECHAUG over Agawam
Athol over SCI-TECH
Franklin Tech over WARE
Mohawk over GREENFIELD
Pathfinder over PALMER

Saturday
Frontier over TURNERS
Commerce over TACONIC
McCANN over Dean Tech
Putnam over CATHEDRAL

Last week: 12-4 (.750)
Overall: 58-28 (.674)
