Meet Coach Cosmos — the man who calls the scores before the coin toss even flips.

A grizzled former assistant coach who vanished for one off-season and came back… different. Third eye open, whistle that hums instead of blows, and a clipboard that shows him plays before they’re run. Nobody knows which team he coached for, or if he ever did. He shows up Thursdays, taps his temple twice, and delivers the week’s picks in short, cryptic bursts — then disappears until next week.

He makes his debut on NPF with his season predictions

“The film doesn’t lie. Neither do I.”

First, the divisions.

LFC Division I

  1. North Pocono (9-1)
  2. Valley View (8-2)

  5. Delaware Valley (6-4)
  6. Wallenpaupack (4-6)
  7. West Scranton (4-6)

Fight, Trojans, Fight. As they edge out the Cougars on a tiebreaker.

LFC Division II

  1. Dunmore (9-1)
  2. Lakeland (9-1)
  3. Riverside (7-3)
  4. Honesdale (5-5)

The Bucks don’t stop here. Too many antlers back to make them the predator, not the prey.

  2. Carbondale (5-5)
  3. Old Forge (5-5)
  4. Montrose (4-6)

  2. Wilkes-Barre (5-5)
  3. Hazleton Area (2-8)

Repeat is the name for the Patriots game. A rough start will turn into a title and there will be NO filming of opponent’s practices.

WVC Division 2

  1. Dallas (7-3)
  2. Crestwood (7-3)
  3. Berwick (7-3)
