Protime wants to know if anyone out there in cyber land ever ‘played hooky’ from school? Protime also wonders if the younger generation even knows what that means? Protime was an advanced hooky player. In fact, he once spent a whole day in a neighbor’s garage when he was in third grade. He can’t remember what he did, but he probably slept and kept a lookout for school personnel, the neighbor, and Mom Protime.
On more than one occasion when Protime visited with cousin Dave, they played hooky from doing chores and did more constructive things like calling people to see if their refrigerator was running or if there was a john there at home or if a store had Sir Walter Raleigh in a can. Protime and cousin Dave would split a gut telling people they better go catch the refrigerator if it was running, or where did people go to the bathroom if there was no john there, or the store had better let Mr. Raleigh out of the can before he suffocated.
Protime promises to never play hooky from prognosticating high school football games. Last week he went 22-4 to increase his 2023 batting average to .818 (123-27-1). This week the premier pigskin predictor has some fabulous football games to foretell.
Downingtown West 21 Coatesville 17 – In a big one down in District 1 that will have a large impact come seeding time, Protime says the Whippets win the night over the visiting Red Raiders. And they stay unbeaten.

Cocalico 28 Wyomissing 21 – Upset special here as the Eagles swoop down and tackle the Spartans giving Coach Wolfrum and Wyomissing their first loss of 2023.
South Williamsport 27 Muncy 20 – A battle of 5-1 teams in District 4 finds the Mountaineers a touchdown better than the Indians.

Cambridge Springs 40 Lakeview 34 – District 10’s game of the week involves two teams with a combined record of 12-0. Protim’e coin flip has the Blue Devils sinking the Sailors.
Strath Haven 17 Garnet Valley 14 – Protime was going to pick the Jaguars but had second thoughts. It is never good to back off a first choice but in this case the Panthers are a decent bet. By the way, Protime never saw a jaguar go up against a panther. Should be a great cat fight.
Avonworth 35 Beaver 24 – The Antelopes go to 7-0 as the use a second half rally to leap past the Bobcats.
