Week 1 winners are in (Football Picks Contest)

Because of my late announcement last week, we didn't have all too many entries into our MIPrepZone Football Picks Contest. But I will announce the winner(s) of our two t-shirts here. And we'll see how I did in our Week 1 games.

I finished 15-3, missing out on the Fenton-Harrison and Southfield-King games in Division 2 and Madison-Consortium in Division 6. Basically, everyone got the Madison game wrong. Albert Karschnia was the king this past weekend, finishing 16-2. Like me, he missed Fenton-Harrison and Madison-Consortium.
Chris Elliott was 15-3, missing the Fenton-Harrison, Avondale-Lahser and Madison-Consortium. Both win MIPrepZone t-shirts. Congratulations.

Standings
Albert Karschnia (16-2)
Chris Elliott (15-3)
Ken Swart (13-5)
Allen Toubia (12-6)
