I have been with the Standard Democrat sports department since 2007. I took over as sports editor in May of 2011 and have been slightly crazy about sports since I can remember. I attended Southeast Missouri State University and Scott County Central High School. I co-created our sports web show "The Last Word" and my two children, Elijah and CJ. I was married to my wife, Angie, in May of 2014. I love to golf, I am an avid NBA2K gamer and root for the Fighting Irish on Saturdays.

Media Football Pick 'Em Week 6

Posted Thursday, September 25, 2014, at 3:13 PM

Here's to Week 6!

It's been a rough couple weeks for the Pick 'Em panel. Lots of upsets and downright tough games to choose from. But we're going to keep trying.

Here's the newest episode of The Last Word where we once again discuss this week's games -- the biggest of those being the Jackson-Cape Central matchup.

I took Jackson 42-32. (Sorry Indian fans. My recent streak of picking winners hasn't been solid.)

As I explain on the show, I was leaning toward Cape Central before their second half implosion Saturday against Ladue and Jackson has been rolling of late. There's my "expert" showing. Impressive, right?

If you want to hear more on Jackson-Cape Central, Sikeston-PB, Portageville-Scott City and every other game on Friday, click the link above. As always, be sure to leave feedback. I'm interested to hear what you may think about Jackson and Cape Central. Especially those who are taking Cape Central.

Thanks for reading/watching.
