Travis Stokes was the winner in last week’s reader football pick ‘em contest, with his tiebreaker score prediction beating out seven other people who turned in perfect ballots. Travis graduated from LHS this spring (he was a varsity football player for the Leps) and is a freshman at Texas A&M-Corpus, so his mom Michele Stokes accepted the prize money from Johnny Oviedo of Oviedo Auto Group, which sponsors the contest. Our football contest will continue this season as long as the Leps stay in the playoffs. * The deadline for this week’s pick ‘em contest is still 5 p.m. Friday even though the La Grange game was moved up to Thursday.
