A big, physical La Vernia football team was in no mood to take it easy on a La Grange team still trying to find its way. The Bears blasted the visting Leps 45-0 Friday to stay unbeaten, while the Leps are still winless in three tries this season.

It was a tragic start to the season for La Grange’s J.K. Dobbins as he tore his Achilles tendon in the first game of the season Sunday as his Baltimore Ravens beat the Houston Texans 25-9.

For the first time this season we have a winner in our reader pick-it contest as Jason Vela correctly navigated a weekend of upsets to win the $300 prize. Several people were eliminated by the Schulenburg and UT wins and the Texas A&M loss. We will try to get a picture of Vela getting his prize money from Alpha One to run in Friday’s edition. Meanwhile, our prize goes back to $100 this week. Remember: no photo copies, get it to us by Friday at 5 p.m. and you can enter as many times as you like. Good luck!
