Welcome to the wild world of The Fumbler. For the first time ever, this year, I am going to make my identity known -- at least as much as you can tell from my photo above.
I'd like to play a little a really big game with you this season. I want you to try to find me, as I will be at a high school game every week.
Here's a hint for tonight: I will be at a game in Westmoreland County involving a Class AAAA team against a Class AAA team. Normally, I sit just below the press box entrance. So, if you can figure out who I am, come up and say hello. And maybe, just maybe, I'll extend my hand to you, shake your hand and admit that it is really me...or maybe I won't.
Anyway, here are all of my picks for this weekend:
