Here is another round of high school football predictions for the Bee in Week 2.
Per usual, the Bee selected five key games with an upset special.
Last week, the Bee went 5-1 on the five key games and the upset special when Coalinga defeated McLane 7-6.
In Week 1, the Bee went 30-11, resulting in a two-week record of 53-19.
Key games predictions
Kerman at Madera (Game of the Week): This will be an exciting matchup. It is hard to pick this matchup. Kerman 27, Madera 24
McLane at Bullard: The Knights are on a roll. Will it continue against the Highlanders, who fell 7-6 to Coalinga in the season opener? Bullard 34, McLane 13
Clovis West at Bakersfield Christian: Dandy of a matchup. Could go either way. The Eagles had a bye and had to sit on the season-opening loss. Bakersfield Christian 47, Clovis West 43
Sanger at Clovis: The Apaches lost last week, while the Cougars rolled in Salinas. Bounce-back game for the Apaches? Sanger 24, Clovis 20
San Joaquin Memorial at Hanford: The Bullpups defeated Sanger last week. Expect their winning ways to continue. Hanford 52, San Joaquin Memorial 23
Upset special
Edison at Centennial: The Tigers came close of upsetting Clovis North. Edison should win here if they played the way they did against the Broncos. Edison 34, Centennial 27
