We pick the winners for Week 8 high school football games in Bucks County area

Which area high school football teams will win in Week 8?

Our sports staff ― Drew Markol, Tom Moore and Melissa Hanejko ― attempts to answer that question by picking the winning side of each game on the schedule.

How did we do last week?

Week 7 proved to be quite the challenge, as we posted a record of 33-21, or 61 percent.

For the season, we are at 65 percent (247-131).

Week 7 results: Drew: 12-6 (87-39 overall) Tom: 11-7 (84-42 overall) Melissa: 10-8 (76-50 overall)

Biggest miss: Make that "misses." Among our biggest missteps: no one saw Pennridge besting Pennsbury or North Penn topping CB East. The Rams edged Pennsbury 15-14, and in another low-scoring game, the Knights defeated CB East 14-7.
