We are into the third week of the high school football season.

After a challenging first week of picks, the second week of the Portage Sports Pigskin Picks Challenge was a bit more favorable to most of the competitors.

For Week 3, Meyers Fence Company is the sponsor.

Before we get to this week’s selections, here is everyone’s record after two weeks of picks.
