This week's picks

North Andover over Staples - Winner gets Office Depot. And if you bring your Staples Rewards card, you get in for half price.

Northampton over Longmeadow - The only thing that makes sense here is that the varsity plays on offense, the junior varsity on defense. How else to explain 80-55?

Greenfield over Pioneer Valley - The boys at Greenfield would like their friends in Longmeadow to read the following score: Greenfield 112, Templeton 0. The date was Sept. 23, 1922, this according to Mike Richard, author of "Super Saturdays."

Norwood over Walpole - According to Globe sources with direct knowledge of the Walpole offense, the Rebels plan to give the ball to No. 25. A lot.

Xaverian over Everett - Crimson Tide fall to third in Catholic Conference.

Dennis-Yarmouth over Plymouth South - If the Dolphins can't draw inspiration from the passing of a fellow mammal, there's something wrong. Win one for Dennis!

Staff picks by Bob Holmes. Last week, 2-4 (season, 15-18).
