Week 2 winners are in (Football Picks Contest)

In most weeks, my 8-1 record would be enough to take down the competition. But we had an entry in this past week's MIPrepZone Football Picks Contest that defined perfection. Jake Thielen finished a flawless 9-0. Congrats Jake - you've won yourself a MIPrepZone t-shirt.
Kam Haifleigh and Ray LeDuc both finished 8-1, but Ray's tiebreaker (54) was closer to the actual number of points scored in the St. Mary's-Avondale game (63). So congrats Ray, you win our second t-shirt. Thanks to everyone for participating. The standings are below.
