In Week 1, The Bee went 7-1 and has a two-week total of 12-5. Not bad, but it could be better.

The Bullpups and Broncos each pulled ahead with under a minute remaining in the game.
Here are the games The Bee is picking in Week 3:
Sanger at Clovis East: This game at Lamonica Stadium is The Bee’s Game of the Week. The Apaches are coming off a 39-35 loss to Hanford, while The Bee’s top-ranked Timberwolves defeated Kingsburg 27-10. What is at stake? The Silver Spear trophy. Clovis East 43, Sanger 36
Bullard at Hoover: It is the “Battle of Barstow” on Thursday. Who will come out on top? The Knights barely got by Mayfair 15-9, while the Patriots rolled past Santa Maria 39-6 with Cam Mobley throwing four TDs in the win. Both faced teams that are now 0-2. Could be an entertaining game. Bullard 27, Hoover 24
Fowler at Sanger West: The Redcats had an embarrassing loss to Firebaugh, 35-0. How will they respond against the Hornets after losing 7-0 to Coalinga? Fowler 24, Sanger West 10
Orosi at Reedley: Pirates coach Tony Gates said he is concerned about the Cardinals. Hard to argue that, but at least he has Will Bacon, who has 11 touchdowns this season. Reedley 32, Orosi 24
Exeter at Lindsay: The Monarchs haven’t scored a TD in the first two games. Will it stop here? The Cardinals finally play at home after opening the season on the road. Lindsay 47, Exeter 20
Redwood at Tulare Union: Expect plenty of points in this game. The Tribe are rolling, while the Rangers barely lost to Clovis North. Plenty of D-1 talent will be on the field. Tulare Union 54, Redwood 50
Garza at Kerman: Tough game to call for two 2-0 teams. Could be a shootout. Kerman 47, Garza 34
Dinuba at Kingsburg: The Vikings couldn’t keep track with Clovis East. This time, they welcome the Emperors. Kingsburg 36, Dinuba 20
