BY CHARLES CHANEY

Each week, Butler County Times-Gazette’s Sports Editor, Charles Chaney, predicts the score from 50 games around the state, including every game from Butler County. We started with 20 games but always had trouble deciding between games, so we upped it to 50.

Last season, we went 9-1 in the county and 15-5 for all 20 picks. 

This season: 46-14 (76.7%)
County season picks: 24-5 (82.8%)
Last week: 16-4
Last week’s County picks: 8-2
