The Chelsea Hornets refused to quit against Benjamin Russell and despite some costly turnovers, prevailed.

That victory by Chelsea and a loss by the Oak Mountain Eagles to Minor proved to be the only false steps in my predictions last week.

I was 12-2 for the week and improved to 40-16 overall for a 71 percent accuracy rating.

But that is history. What will happen this Friday?

It wasn&8217;t hard picking the game of the week this time around. Class 3A Calera (4-0, 3-0) beat region opponent Marbury 40-13 on the road and will host 5A Shelby County (3-1, 2-1), which beat region opponent Chilton County at home 12-0.
