As always, the results won't be final for 24 hours. All contestants should use that time to check their score for errors. After that time period has passed, the contest is final and the winner should use the link below to claim the prize of choice. If you think your score is incorrect, please send me a PM and I will look into your claim.

 

Scoring this week was pretty good. Sometimes it's tough to find ten competitive first-round matchups and this year was no exception. That being said, we had no perfect scores and only one score of 17. Congratulations to maysvilleky on the Round 1 victory; only missing on the Eastern upset over North Hardin (Fun fact - NOBODY picked Eastern to win. Shows how much we know).

Thanks for playing, and remember. This is a 5-week contest with a big prize going to the overall winner, so I hope to see you again in week 2!

Not only did we go 0 for 37 as a group, 7 felt strong enough to make it the 3 point game. Does anyone know what happened here? I mean upsets happrn but 41-7. I thought scoreboard had the scores swithed when I saw it. True, North Hardin was not impreesive the previous 4 weeks but after the first week Eastern was 2-7 with the wins coming against teams that finished 2-20. If I picked this game 100 times I still pick N. Hardin 100 times based on available info. So what the heck happened here.

I wish I knew. I was one of those unfortunates that had NH as a 3-pointer.

Not bad for my first attempt at this contest!

You tied with Randy Parker, LCDAWGS19 and a guy with snot in his username. I wouldn't brag too much.

That is easier said than done. Check pages 131 and 132 to see who won both the contests last year. A real pest for an 8 year old. One thing I'm trying to figure out is how South Park is in year 20 and he's still 8.

I felt like North Hardin's schedule would have been the difference in this game but at the end of the day we may have all simply underestimated just how good football in Louisville is right now.
