Marist upends Marshfield for the second year in a row, Thurston scores its 107 point in its second game (they scored 187 all of last season), Sheldon puts up a bagel for the first time in... forever, and South Eugene opens up their season on a sour note. Plus... oh, yes, new power rankings.
MWL
Marist 27, Marshfield 25
Can’t wait for Marist to join the MWL in a couple of years – these Marshfield/Marist games are classics.

Well, I went 5-1 with my picks last week – tripped up along with North Eugene at Crescent Valley. Man, I didn’t see that coming. Kudos to those that did.
Though it’s the second week of action, it’s actually Week One, given that the first Friday of every season was dubbed Zero Week a number of years ago when only a few teams opted to play before the start of the “actual” season. So there you go. It’s technically Week One, though just about everybody has a game under their belt already. Go figure.

Churchill (0-1) @ Summit (0-1)
Churchill lost big to a great team, Summit lost by a little to a poor team. |

Zero Week is in the books.
Thurston might have been able to put up 90 if the coaching staff was that cruel, Sheldon looks scary good, North Eugene flops, and more than one team finds a new quarterback. Plus... power rankings!
MWL
Thurston 60, Corvallis 13
You almost have to do a double take after looking at this score; Thurston didn’t play a 4A school, or a 5A also-ran – they hosted Corvallis, two years removed from winning the state championship. A first-class football program through and through.
But it didn’t matter Friday night, as Thurston QB Tym Pearson went 25/36 for 475 yards and 5 touchdowns, offering up an aerial assault that would have made even Alex Brink’s jaw hit the ground below him. |

Zero Week is here!
I only predicted MWL games last year, but I finished 38-9 (81%) for my weekly picks, starting in Zero Week and finishing in the 5A Quarterfinals when Bend beat Willamette. Can I have another successful year? I’ll break up the 5A and 6A picks, if only because 5A is my bread and butter and I don’t want my 6A average bringing me down.

Sheldon @ Churchill
Last Meeting: 2007 (Sheldon 21, Churchill 0). Streak: Sheldon has won the last 7 by an average of 21.7 PPG. Churchill last beat Sheldon in 2000 by a score of 30-13.

OL/DL Charles Siddoway, formerly of Marist, formerly (kind of) of South Eugene, will now be attending Sheldon High School for his senior season.
Siddoway, a 6-6, 305 pound linemen, rated four stars by Scout.com, transfered from Marist to South Eugene over the summer, but because two former Marist assistant coaches moved over to South Eugene as well, the OSAA declared that Siddoway would be ineligible on August 18, should Siddoway participate in South's first official fall practice. He did not participate in practice on the 18th, instead waiting for a ruling to the situation.
When one did not become available by Monday evening, he withdrew from South and enrolled at Sheldon. Ironically, his eligibility to play for South was granted Tuesday afternoon, but only after he had been accepted into Sheldon. Isn't the Eugene 4J open-enrollment policy fun?
