Took a little tumble in Week 2 of the Grid Picks, so we'll have to take a better look at things in Week 3.

Rod Heckman has been hot the first two weeks and has that early-season lead so it gives me something to shoot for.So let's take a look at what we have this week:JIM THORPE AT TAMAQUA - An important early season matchup for both when you consider how District 11 ratings stand. Last year it was a close one. This one could be close again and won in the trenches … Tamaqua, 19-14.LEHIGHTON AT NORTH SCHUYLKILL - This matchup is one that a lot have been waiting for since the start of drills back in August. Spartans already have one loss and another could be damaging to the pre-season Anthracite Football League favorite. The Indians started slow last year and lost to the Spartans. Look for a high-scoring affair and I like … Lehighton, 26-24.MINERSVILLE AT MARIAN - Stan Dakosty takes another step closer to win No. 300 … Marian, 35-0.PALMERTON AT BANGOR - Blue Bombers have put some points on the board, but it's time for the defense to make a statement … Palmerton, 38-7.PANTHER VALLEY AT MAHANOY AREA - Panthers got burned by the long pass last week against Marian. The Golden Bears improved from the opener against Leighton with a win over Schuylkill Haven … Mahanoy Area, 21-18.PEN ARGYL AT NORTHWESTERN - Green Knights have played both Northern Lehigh and Palmerton tough. Don't know if they can stop Harry Hall though … Northwestern, 28-12.PLEASANT VALLEY AT WHITEHALL - Zephyrs aren't as tough as last year, but the Bears aren't either … Whitehall, 28-16.WILSON AT NORTHERN LEHIGH - Bulldogs bounce back after loss to league favorite Saucon Valley … Northern Lehigh, 35-0.NOTRE DAME AT SALISBURY - Crusaders have shown they are a team to be reckoned with this year. Falcons had quite an offensive outburst last week. Upset Special … Salisbury, 21-20.SAUCON VALLEY AT SOUTHERN LEHIGH - Spartans have been licking their chops since Panthers beat them last year. Home field advantage comes up big here … Southern Lehigh, 21-14.EAST STROUDSBURG SOUTH AT STROUDSBURG - Turkey Day comes a bit early for the Cavaliers and Mounts this year …Stroudsburg, 35-18.EMMAUS AT FREEDOM - The Patriots run their record to 3-0, but this one won't be easy … Freedom, 28-20.CENTRAL CATHOLIC AT PARKLAND - Some think this will be a big test for the Trojans. No way … Parkland, 35-7.SHENANDOAH VALLEY AT SCHUYLKILL HAVEN - Devils could pull the upset here, but I still like … Schuylkill Haven , 21-7.WILLIAM VALLEY AT TRI-VALLEY - Bulldogs haven't had too much luck in this rivalry lately. Tonight will be different … Tri-Valley, 28-18.
