OCVarsity staff picks: Who’s Fryer picking?
December 4th, 2008, 9:03 am · · posted by Damian Calhoun
That’s the question everybody in the county wants to know. There is a select who would love for him to pick their team to win, the majority, however, know better.
We’re into the semifinal round of staff contest here at OCVarsity.com. The playoff title is up for grabs. I’m tied for first with Jason Eichelberger.
Now, the picks and the moment everybody has been waiting for …

Question? On the pick’em video, Fryer says he is taking Tesoro, but here it says he is taking OLu? Which one is it? Also, Damien, you should have taken Corona Del Mar, I think Hitchens has a great track record at St. Margaret’s and El Modena in big games.
Tesoro “just won’t die”.
Ohh noo . . . . if Fryer is picking OLu . . . we could be sunk. I gonna ignore I ever saw it!
is there a reason the LH vs. Norwalk game wasnt picked?
La Habra is a very talented team with a great program, but you guys ALWAYS underestimate TH. Even last year when they had a very strong team;and they were less than a minute away from taking the CIF champion title, you guys underestimated them. Hopefully the Mustangs can focus, not give up, and have a consistant defense throughout the 4 quarters, cause if they do it will be a great game. Good luck Trabuco.
why isn’t the laguna hills norwalk game on here?
Okay why the snub to Laguna Hills and Norwalk game? It’s a shame that what Laguna has accomplished and the talent there always goes ignored/unnoticed by the OC Register. I’ve heard Fryer doesn’t like Laguna, must be true.
H-E-L-L-O … LAGUNA vs NORWALK GAME!!!!!!
Acknowledge these two teams and their great football playing to get where they are.
How could you not include Laguna Hills and Norwak High schools on that list? I would hope this wasn’t on purpose. These fine football athletes deserve the recognition just as much as the other schools in CIF play-offs. Should I cancel my newspaper subscription to OC Register? hmmmm
Lets go CDM!!!

You called it in the beginning of the SW playoffs. Tustin is now headed to the “A”.
