Joey got skunked!!! All of the trivia questions were answered last week so I'm sure Joey thinks he can stump ya'll this week...can he????? Of course, it wasn't without controversy as the largest playing field was answered as "Golf Course" which we all know is correct BUT, Joey has a disclaimer, the answer has to be what Joey thinks is the correct answer, so you see, sometimes you have to think like Joey, Scary thought huh????? Oh and Joey, a girl got the correct answer on that question!

All of the Miss-Lou teams that are playing regular season games won again this week, so everybody is 2-0, a great start for the Miss-Lou! Vidalia dropped a Jamboree game to Ferriday but that's just what it is, a practice game, don't count out the Vikings just yet! They'll use that game to fix problems and fine tune what they already have.

Japan wins the Little League World Series over Hawaii 4-1. These games are so much fun to watch every year and ESPN does a great job covering the series.

Tiger is showing signs that his game may be coming back, it's getting better since his divorce is finally over this past week. I'm not counting him out as some have done. He's making changes and he's done it before and came back even stronger. It may take longer for the public to embrace him again but, I think he will be back in championship form next year. Matt Kuchar won at the Barclays.

The UFC card last Saturday night was better than I thought it would be except for the Randy Couture and James Toney fight, it was exactly what I thought it would be, a takedown and beat down and submission. I really thought B.J. Penn would beat Frankie Edgar easily but, Frankie showed up better than before and won every round. B.J. just didn't seem like his old self in this contest either.

Pre-season game in the NFL are not much fun to watch, about the only thing that is are the QB's, Drew Brees looked like he hasn't missed a game since last season, he had pinpoint accuracy and Phillip Rivers looked good also for the Bolts. Tony Romo still looks bad to me and I still can't figure out why the Cowboys haven't gotten a better QB. (sorry Andrew) But this guy is not any good, sure he has his moments but this is the NFL (Not For Long) and when he has terrible games (often) one would think Jerry Jones (who has the money) would find him a QB!!!

Friday Nights Match-Ups

ACCS heads to Amite School Center and the Rebels swill be 3-0 after Friday night.

Cathedral has an easy win this week, they play Open and nobody has ever lost to Open.

Natchez High will play host to Ferriday, this will be Ferriday's first game of the season and I just don't think they can hang with the Bulldogs of Natchez.

Trinity host Centreville and the Tigers are 0-2 so far this season but, never ever count them out! I still like the Saints in this one!

Vidalia will travel to Block for their regular season opener and the Vikings will right the ship in this one.

That's all for this week, hope ya'll have a great week and as always, be careful traveling to watch your team play!!!!!
