Are you ready for another round of picks?

at :  Coming off its biggest win of the season — 27-14 over West Forsyth — Alpharetta could have clear sailing to the Region 6-AAAAA title. None of its remaining opponents have more than two victories. But the Raiders (5-1, 2-0) can’t overlook rival Milton (1-5, 0-1), which has been competitive as of late despite its record. Alpharetta 30, Milton 21.

Wesleyan at : This is the biggest game of the season for King’s Ridge (3-2), which can do a world of good for its playoff positioning with a win. It’s pretty big for Wesleyan, too., which needs to keep pace with the league leaders in Region 5-A North. The Wolves (4-2) got a shot in the arm with the return last week of quarterback Will Anderson  — the result was a 44-21 win over Pace Academy. Wesleyan 30, King’s Ridge 24.

at Cross Keys: The only win for both of these teams came against North Cobb Christian. St. Francis beat the Eagles 40-37; Cross Keys beat them 26-21. St. Francis 21, Cross Keys 20.
