Week 1 winners are in (Football Playoff Picks Challenge)



We had 15 entries into our MIPrepZone Football Playoff Picks Challenge. The top-three (myself not included) won MIPrepZone t-shirts. I finished 14-4 for the week, missing the Romeo-Lake Orion, Adams-Stoney Creek, Seaholm-Southfield and Bishop Foley-Shrine games.
Most people missed the Romeo-Lake Orion game, save for one person. People were split with the Adams-Stoney Creek and Shrine-Foley games. Just one person picked Seaholm to beat Southfield.
Mike Magidsohn finished 15-3 on the week, missing just the Romeo, Adams and Seaholm games. He’ll win a t-shirt, along with William Speer and Ken Grant, who both finished 14-4 and were randomly drawn to receive a t-shirt.
I will be in touch with the winners to get you your t-shirts. Stay tuned, I may have another contest this week. Check back here on my blog by Wednesday.
