Football: Fantasy Picks

If there were such a thing as fantasy high school football, these are the players we would pick:

Izzy Gould's picks:

Byronell Arline , RB, Ridgewood

Okay, I haven't picked Arline in weeks. I can't ignore him any longer as he seemingly gets stronger in every game. He's averaging 10.9 yards per carry and has 20 touchdowns.

Tevin Drake , RB, Nature Coast

Drake used to be a ball boy at South Sumter, and he knows the Raiders pretty well. Maybe that's worth something for a guy with 493 yards and six touchdowns.

Blake Spinks , QB, River Ridge

The senior, below, has thrown for 595 yards and eight touchdowns. This could be a big night for the Royal Knights if Spinks can lead them.

David Murphy's picks:

James Mahla , QB, Springstead

The junior did a good job managing the offense against Central and should have another good day against Hernando.

Barry Johnsonbaugh , RB, Ridgewood

Ridgewood will need his power running game against the high-flying Mitchell Mustangs. Johnsonbaugh has shown the ability to score as a running back and a receiver.

Nick Sizemore , RB, Hernando

The Leopards will need his straight-ahead running ability to control the ball against Springstead.
