Greg Trlicek wins $100 Football Contest

Congratulations to Greg Trlicek, who won our $100 reader football pick-it contest last week. With the Cowboys tying the Packers we gave everybody that game, but Trlicek’s was one of four ballots who got all the nine other games right too. Jason Vela was also perfect and Brian Cox turned in two perfect ballots, but Trlicek prevailed on the tiebreaker with a 42-20 prediction of the 47-26 Schulenburg win over Kenedy. Of note, Doug Stewart got nine games right, but failed to pick a winner of the Columbus/ Bellville game. A reminder to double check those ballots!
