They were Doug Stewart, Mark Hebert, Larry Zbranek and Walter Newcomb. Newcomb wins the $200 on the score prediction tiebreaker. He predicted a Columbus win of 40-14.

Friday marked the 78th alltime meeting between the La Grange and Columbus football teams. The Cardinals haven’t played any opponent more than the Leps. Of all those games, this year’s will be one Columbus fans will remember for a long time – and a contest Leps fans would rather forget. With as much precision as you’ll ever see from a sophomore quarterback, Columbus’ Adam Schobel completed 19 of his 20 passes Friday for 295 yards and five touchdowns as the Cardinals downed the Leps 44-7. “Columbus is big time. They do things so well. They were making plays all over the place,” said La Grange head coach Matt Kates.
