Attention NFL Pick Em: Sorry for the lengthy announcements. Finishing out the regular season, we had the team of Natalie Beavers, Norah Kuddes, and Myleigh Thinglum win Week 16 with 110 points. Mr. Johnson was crowned champion, for the second time this year, for Week 17 with 114 points with Brooke Herington finishing in 2nd place. For Week 18, it was Ethan Hepner with 102 points. Now, for the overall champion, it was Mrs. Henderson after scoring 1,600 points! Way to go Mrs. Henderson (and way to use your resources!) The first place student finishers were the team of Maddux Kennedy and Drew Parrish. They scored 1,560 points and they chose a free McDonald's lunch as their reward. Boys, enjoy your 6-piece nugget meals with sweet & sour sauce, fries, and pop. Mrs. Henderson, enjoy that spicy chicken sandwich with extra buffalo sauce, fries, and Diet Coke! Now, onto Playoff Pick Em. It is Drew Hagerman off to the early lead scoring 14 points in the Wildcard Round. This week's picks are due by the end of the day Friday. Good luck!
