Week 2 of high school football kicks off Thursday with five games taking place.
The Fresno Bee Game of the Week will take place in Visalia where 17th-ranked Redwood hosts No. 5 Clovis North at Mineral King Bowl at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Last week, the Broncos rolled past San Joaquin Memorial 42-14 while the Rangers were too much for Centennial, 41-20.
The Bee went 7-1 in Week 1. Here are the games The Bee is picking with predictions:
Sanger at Hanford: This game takes place at the Neighbor Bowl on Thursday. The McGrew brothers from Sanger — Kendale and Kayden — combined for 225 yards and three TDs. They’ll be too much to handle. Sanger 42, Hanford 23
Chowchilla at Dos Palos: The Broncos picked up an impressive win over Los Banos in the opener, while the Tribe were a FG better than Firebaugh. Dos Palos 47, Chowchilla 24
Central Valley Christian at Tulare Western: The Cavaliers were no match for Clovis and were shut out. It’ll be a shootout at Bob Mathias Stadium as the Mustangs put up a lot of points. CVC could do the same. CVC 53, Tulare Western 45
Clovis East at Kingsburg: An interesting matchup to say the least. It took a bit for the Timberwolves to find their groove against Bullard. The Vikings were 10 points better than Paso Robles. It’ll be rocking in Kingsburg. Clovis East 27, Kingsburg 25
Clovis North at Redwood: See above. The Rangers will be pumped up. Redwood 47, Clovis North 40
Lemoore at Washington Union: The Tigers won 14-7 over Monache. This will be the first game of the season for the Panthers. Washington Union hasn’t fared well against the Tigers, losing five straight dating to 2005. Washington Union 24, Lemoore 20
Riverdale at Orange Cove: The Cowboys opened the season with a win; the Titans did not, losing 42-40 to Parlier. Orange Cove 37, Riverdale 34
Fowler at Firebaugh: Tough matchup to call. Firebaugh 20, Fowler 17
Reedley at Sunnyside: The Pirates looked good last week, while the Wildcats, in Gio Guzman’s head-coaching debut, disappeared. It could be closer for the Wildcats, but. Reedley 34, Sunnyside 23
