You would think that finishing with a 13-2 in last week's Grid Picks,I'd be happy.

Well, I am sort of. When three of the guys ahead of you also have 13-2 weeks, it doesn't give you a chance to move up the ladder. That's exactly what happened.The only two games I missed on was the Lehighton at Allen game, where I picked the Indians, and the Emmaus at Liberty contest, where we all were wrong picking Liberty.This week, I had to bang this column out a little early. While you're reading this, I'll be out in South Bend, Indiana getting ready to watch the undefeated Fighting Irish host BYU on Saturday afternoon.Hopefully, I'll have the Luck of the Irish shining on me when I come back next week:JIM THORPE AT SCHUYLKILL HAVEN - The Hurricanes have turned things around a bit and despite coming off a loss at Tamaqua, didn't look bad.
