Contest Week Is Tough; Only Two Get 11 Right
 | | Joel Gaston (L), Jack Johnston |
Only two players in The Monticello News football contest correctlly picked the winners in as many as 11 games last week.
Jack Johnston and Ryan McDonald were those two, and nine-year-old Jack Johnston was closer on the tie-breaker. Jack guessed 34 points would be scored in the Piedmont Academy-Bulloch playoff game, and Mr. McDonald guessed 45. Piedmont lost 10-7, so the lower number was closest.
