Here at the weekly predictions column, we’ve been correct almost 75 percent of the time over the first three weeks, which isn’t bad for this part of the season. The trouble has come with the games that have grabbed the headlines, where the batting average is only .200 (1-for-5). So this week, as always, we’ll mention the tough ones, like Ware County over Coffee and Woodward Academy over Lovett. But we’ll play it safer on the headline games – Kell over Sequoyah, St. Pius over Lithonia and Dacula over Berkmar.
