Pigskin Picks

While Week 4 was the week of blowout scores in our area for the most part, it also was a good week for pickers Matt Nye and John Montgomery as they combined to go 17-3. "Celebrity picker" – Chris Chase (Madison Street Tavern owner) – went 5-5, which is a 50% win rate, which puts him tied with Lenny Clouse. Deacon Greg Siebenaller is still in first place with a 58% win rate in Week 3.This week we turn our attention to the Attica area and specifically Attica Lumber.The business is celebrating its 100th year in 2025. It offers lumber sales, building structures such as coops, lake cottages and pre-built homes and supplying coal, trusses and hardware. It's now run by Josh Stanek, the son of Steve Stanek who took over the business in 1976. Stanek is the "celebrity picker" for Week 5. Stanek said: "When I'm not building, running the lumber yard or stocking hardware, I'm cheering on our local teams and looking for ways to give back through fundraisers and collaborations." So Stanek knows all about the lumber business, but does he know ball?Current standings: MN: 32-11JM: 23-20Week 5 matchupsHuron @ Columbian (MN, JM, JS)Lakota (JM) @ Calvert (MN, JS)Bellevue @ Perkins (MN, JM, JS)Clyde (MN, JM, JS) @ Port ClintonCarey @ Seneca East (MN, JM, JS)Colonel Crawford (MN, JM, JS) @ Buckeye CentralMohawk (MN, JM, JS) @ BucyrusEastwood (MN, JM, JS) @ FostoriaUpper Sandusky (MN, JM, JS) @ WynfordHopewell-Loudon (MN, JM, JS) @ Gibsonburg
