Only three teams were picked by our 12 contestants in the opening round of this year's contest. 2A #9 Southmont was the most popular pick, and the six players who selected them received 28 points for the Mounties' 42-14 win over the Fountain Central Mustangs. Almost as popular were the 5A #8 Bloomington South Panthers, who delivered 21 points for the five contestants who picked them with their 27-6 victory over the Columbus East Olympians. But the largest winning margin this week belonged to the 3A #15 Mississinewa Indians in their 35-point shutout of the Norwell Knights. Evansville North and 6A #1 Ben Davis suffered losses to 5A #7 Castle and 6A #7 Indianapolis Cathedral, respectively. Fortunately, none of our contestants picked either of the teams which found themselves on the wrong end of the score.
It is common for us to have multiple players tied for the lead after Week 1. But since he was the only contestant to pick Mississinewa in this round, CoachC sits alone atop our leaderboard with 35 points. Then we have a logjam at second place with hhsdawg, HickoryHusker, kyleajolly, Nick Jenkinson, Ranger20, and Rob Deweese in a six-way tie with 28. Next week we will see if any of our competitors can separate themselves from the pack!
Here are the games for Week 1 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:
Mississinewa 35, Norwell 0 (35 points, 1 player)
Southmont 42, Fountain Central 14 (28 points, 6 players)
