It’s time to take a look at Week 1 around the area and have some fun with picks. Like always, due to media ethics I will not be picking a winner in the Bucktail at Cameron County game.

Coudersport at Port Allegany
The rebuilding Falcons start off at the PIAA 1A runners up. Ouch! GATORS 60-0
Otto-Eldred at Smethport
Hubbers could be Region 4 favorites. SMETHPORT 26-14

Karns City at Moniteau
Heavily favored Gremlins travel to a rebuilding Warriors’ squad. KARNS CITY 40-6
Mifflin County at Central Mountain
Wildcats always struggle with Mifflin County. HUSKIES 36-19

Dawgs have a lot of unknowns entering 2026. JERSEY SHORE 28-22
Hughesville at Montgomery
Red Raiders are a favorite in D4. MONTGOMERY 14-8
Cowanesque Valley at Canton
Are the Warriors back yet? CV 30-8

Ridgeway at St. Mary’s
Classic rivalry to kickoff D9 play. ST MARYS 21-12
Redbank Valley at Kane
And not the Undertaker’s brother, but he wouldn’t even help them against District 9 powerhouse Redbank. BULLDOGS 50-0
Shenandoah Valley at CMVT
Rams should start 1-0. Columbia Montour Vo Tech 66-6

Warrior Run at Muncy
Tough draw in opening week for the Indians. DEFENDERS 23-16
