Pigskin Pick'em Week 2 Winners: Congrats junglestud and loriann12

Posted Saturday, September 4, 2010, at 1:24 AM

Congratulations are in order for junglestud, the only High School Pigskin Pick'em contestant to manage a perfect 15 out of 15 score this week.

Junglestud wins three large pizzas from Domino's Pizza in Cape Girardeau and a Penzoil oil change from Jackson Tire Center with up to five quarts of oil.

The second place finisher this week is loriann12. She (presumably) was one of several people to finish with 14 points, but her prediction of a 35-24 Scott City win over St. Vincent won her the tie break. (actual score: 42-21 Scott City)

The game that without a doubt tripped the most people up was the Dexter-Park Hills Central contest. A whopping 93 percent of participants chose Park Hills Central to win, but Dexter was the team that ended up with a 14-0 victory.

I'm happy to report that I managed a respectable score of 12 this week, picking nine of the 11 games correctly.

If you still haven't signed up to play click here to get started.

We also have an NFL version of Pigskin Pick'em this season. Make sure to sign up for it as well by clicking here. You can use the same username and password you use for the high school contest. The grand prize for our local winner is a sweet home entertainment system from Stereo One. The national winner gets a trip to Hawaii.

The question is: did you get the Dexter-Park Hills game right?

Of course not, Bearcat. :( I would have bragged about that for sure. Haha.

I was among the 93 percent of people the Dexter team proved completely wrong. I've been hanging my head in shame all day.
