LV Grad Greg Dawson “Creek” Earns Second “You Pick’Em” Win
(Sept. 18) – OK, we tried to in vain to work Dawson’s Creek into the headline since Greg Dawson won our “You Pick’Em” contest last week … the LPS Monkey suggested: Greg Dawson “Up a Creek without a Paddle” but then that made no sense. As Dawson did quite swimmingly last week!
(Question: Dan, speaking of making no sense, what gives with all the funky colors on this page? Answer: We thought we would get as creative as possible and see if our new DigitalSports bosses noticed!)
Back to what counts! Dawson, a Loudoun Valley grad for the record, picked Potomac Falls 29-17 over Jefferson WV and the final was 31-14. Walter McCowat (Super Dominion Dad! and known at LPS World Headquarters as LPS Fan No. 1) just missed with a 31-21 pick. We should note that Jason “The Oracle” Treon didn’t win last week but he did email seven days ago that AIG would be bailed out by the government! Treon’s new license plates by the way read: Oracle1 (we kid … especially since Treon could easily beat us up and step on our little video camera)

You Pick’Em Has Gone to the ‘Dawgs: Stone Bridge Coaches Sam Plank and Jason “The Oracle” Treon Both are Winners in Week Two
By Dan “Back to School Night” Sousa
(Sept. 11, 2008) – Hey, it was either update You Pick’em or attend Back to School Night (zzzzzzzzzzzzz …) sorry about that but after a decade or so those events all start to sound the same. I fell asleep at my son’s Back to School Night last year and had this strange dream that I was back in high school and dating somebody named Sally Foster.
And speaking of sounding the same … how about Jason “The Oracle” Treon who returns to You Pick’Em to claim his ninth all-time victory. Since Chris Tully achieved his sixth win last week, we expect Treon wanted to get down to business to assure his claim on the all-time leaderboard. Treon had Handley beating LC, 28-21 which was close enough to the 49-21 final. (People, people, you took a beating on this one … thank goodness we are not wagering on these predictions!).
Now Treon is a Stone Bridge assistant football coach and a JV baseball coach for the Bulldogs and his “boss” Sam Plank called the Stone Bridge game to gain his first victory ever in You Pick’Em … Plank had 42-7 ‘Dawgs and it was 49-7.
Treon has also made these predictions: Gas will reach $15 a gallon by Christmas, bow ties will make a comeback and we will have a mild winter (OK … we actually made those up).
(What was it with all the scoring last Friday! It was like the Arena League took over the Prep Football scene. We aren’t positive but we heard that Potomac Falls actually scored a final touchdown while the bus was pulling out of the parking lot in Hedgesville.)
(Somebody explain all of these asides?!?)
Week 3 Game of the Week for You Pick’Em: Jefferson WV @ Potomac Falls.
Send us your winner and final score to email::dsousa@digitalsports.com.
If you win, you get to claim bragging rights … and, yes, to answer your question, more than just local coaches are allowed to play but we warn you, they play to win. Also, if you win this week, the LPS Monkey will buy you a cup of coffee!
Tell your friends … more fun than Back to School Night … Play You Pick’EM

Six-Shooter Tully Almost Exact with Win! Hawes Breaks Through and Now is Tied with His Son in You Pick’Em
By Dan Sousa
You Pick’Em Professional
(Sept. 4, 2008) – Panther Power! Potmac Falls swept our first week of You Pick’em … now that has to be a throwdown challenge to the other nine Loudoun schools! First, here are our Week Two You Pick’Em Games:
Robinson at Stone Bridge
Skinny: Are the ‘Dawgs Ram-Tough this Season?
Handley at Loudoun County
Skinny: Are the Raiders for real … maybe Handley will be the “Judge”.
Email the winner and final score of one or both games to dsousa@digitalsports.com. It is that simple. Easier than picking a Vice Presidential candidate!
Week One Recap
Jeff Hawes finally notched his first You Pick’Em victory, calling Stone Bridge 34-24 over West Springfield, which was good enough to beat out his Assistant AD Chris Tully who had 49-21 and long-time You Pick’Em player Bob Buckman, who had 35-21. Hawes darn near won the Briar Woods game but Tully was almost exactly on the money, calling 27-14 Briar Woods over Millbrook when the final was 27-13. It won’t make Tully feel any better that the Pioneer missed extra point actually doinked (is that a word?) off the right upright! This make Tully a six-time winner in You Pick’Em, tying him with John Koren for second All-time and putting him within two wins of Stone Bridge assistant football coach Jason “crystal ball” Treon.
As for Hawes, we don’t want him to get too big of a head with his win … after all, he has now simply tied his young son Hayden for bragging rights in You Pick’Em as Hayden won last season.

(Aug. 28, 2008) – Well … we tried to **** this contest but we figured the outrage would be too great!
So, back by popular demand (yes, Sam Plank, we are talking about you!) is our You Pick’Em Football Contest.
Time out Dan: I won You Pick’Em last year and the jazzy LPS Prize Van never visited me!
Answer: Ha! You simply weren’t home and the LPS Monkey did toss your prize on your front lawn while cruising by at 45 miles per hour and we can’t be sure but we think your neighbor’s toy poodle took off with the gear.
(Honest, we just never got around to handing out the prizes and our coolest t-shirts were gone after the 2006 campaign and the new stuff was frankly … a bit lame! So, you will have to live with the sole prize of becoming famous in our little sports community … Gthat and if you like, the LPS Monkey will trim your hedges if you ask nicely).
OK, enough with that … here is how you play You Pick’em. Pick the winner of one of the following two games and give us the final score. If you get the winner and come closest to the final scores … well, you are the winner! We are working on forms for this new site so you will have to email all picks to dsousa@digitalsports.com.
Week One You Pick’Em
Game 1: West Springfield at Stone Bridge
Game 2: Millbrook at Briar Woods
Please send picks to Dan at dsousa@digitalsports.com.
