Pigskin Prophets: Week 9

The end is near and not much will be decided this week. The regular season comes to a close in Divisions IV, V and VI, but in the Divisions I, II and III, there is still plenty to be determined. And there's still plenty to be determined between the "prophets." Our group of high school football "experts"  try to successfully predict the outcome of a handful of select games from around the state. Following are this week's picks.
