Football: You Pick'Em Contest Sponsored by Gayle King of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty - 3 Fans Get 11 of 12 Semifinals Right!

(Dec. 5, 2012) - And then there was just one week in our high school football You Pick'Em contest!

Our fan leader, Mtneer32, took care of business again, going 9-3, losing just one game to JAGman who is three back with just six state title games to pick -- still with a shot for the big prize of $100 to the season-long winner (and $100 to their favorite high school athletic program).

We are paying out the top three spots ($50 to runner-up and $25 to third place) so BallCoach9 still is in the money but lost ground with a 7-5 week. TBreeden is one back, keydet93 and WVU FB are two back and Boring is three back ... should be a wild finish!

For the week, we had three fans go an impressive 11-1 picking the state semifinal games: ThrownVA45 of Ashburn; The Spartan of Ashburn; and vipers58 of Ashburn. The winner, based on tiebreaker, was The Spartan (and I know this is killing him since his BR boys are not still playing!) with a 45-0 pick of Briar Woods over Courtland with actual score 45-15. Vipers58 had 52-0 and ThrowinVA had it as a shootout, 42-35!

In the LoCo Media Experts race Carl "Kat's Meow" Lukat of the Loudoun Times-Mirror went 8-4 to take a 2-game lead over expat (Florida is in another country, no?) Paul Tenorio. Andy "Left in a Purple"Hayes of Gameday saw his season hit the skids with a 5-7 week, dropping three back of Lukat.

The LoCo Media Experts are playing not only for glory but the overall season winner will have $100 donated to their favorite charity!
