I'm as excited as Gus Johnson calling an NFL game on CBS.

I can't stop screaming.

Oh, my gosh! I went 11-1 last week! Amazing! Oh, my gosh! Can you believe it! Ohhhhhh!

OK. I feel better now.

I went 11-1 to run my record to a dazzling 29-6.

Unfortunately, Butler County area teams are not faring as well.

Through three weeks, our gridders are 11-25. Only one team, Karns City, is undefeated. Six more are winless.

Here's hoping at least some of them can get off the shnide this week.

The always-calm Gus Johnson will be yelling for them.

On to the picks:

•

Canon-McMillan 26, Butler 13 — Don't blink or you will miss large chunks of this game. Both teams want to control the clock with a power running game. Get up for a quick bathroom break and you could miss a quarter.The Big Macs will do a better job of grinding it out.•

Seneca Valley 26, Knoch 10 — The Knights got a spark from a couple of sophomores last week in a near-upset win.The Raiders will be ready for them this week.•

Mars 24, Fox Chapel 20 — There's just something about the Planets, something the French call ... I don't know what.It amounts to another win, though.•

Moniteau 39, A-C Valley 11 — The Warriors are mad after a beatdown at the hands of Punxsutawney.The poor Falcons will find out what happens when a bunch of unhappy Warriors come to town.•

Karns City 32, Clarion-Limestone 12 — The once-mighty Lions have hit upon some tough times, but C-L appears to be headed in the right direction.The Gremlins, however, always seem to be headed in the right direction.On Friday, they will be headed to 4-0.•

Sharon 29, Slippery Rock 12 — The Rockets' defense is tough, but the offense has struggled.Not a good formula against a gifted Sharon team.•

Keystone 28, Union 16 — This could be my upset special. I have been impressed with the Golden Knights, even though they haven't scored on offense in two weeks.Zach Traister is a legitimate threat, and sophomore QB Trent Corle has shown flashes of brilliance.If they put it all together, Keystone could fall.•

Burrell 20, Freeport 19 — I flipped a coin on this one, but Phil Luckett didn't hear me right, so I have to pick Burrell.Sorry, Yellowjackets.•

Grove City 37, Franklin 8 — The Eagles have more dudes to carry the mail than the U.S. Postal Service — and they use all of them.Franklin has been outscored 155-14. Expect a lot of dudes carrying the rock this week for GC.I may even get a carry to two. Watch for my Heisman pose and my "Franklin Leap."•

Ford City 36, Summit Academy 13 — The Knights are outscoring their opponents in the fourth quarter.Unfortunately, the first three quarters count in high school football.Scoop would trash talk if he could talk.
