One game really threw off Ray Brewer and Case Keefer in last week’s high school picks.
Neither of the Las Vegas Sun sports editors saw Coronado’s 28-21 upset victory over Green Valley coming. Brewer had the Gators prevailing by 39 points, while Keefer also thought it would be a relatively easy 18-point victory for them.
