Football season is here, which means it's time for the Hickory Husker Pigskin Pick'em! This is your opportunity to compete with other Varsity Club members in a fun contest where you can display your knowledge of Indiana high school football.
The basic concept of the contest is simple. From a list of nine teams, you select one as your pick each week of the regular season. The number of points you are awarded for that week is your pick's margin of victory in their game (points will be subtracted if they lose!). Each team on the list can be picked only once; therefore, you should attempt to use each team as your pick in a week when you think they will have a big win. The contestant with the most points at the end of the season will be our champion!
Please note these specific rules:

- Only teams on the list can be used as picks.
- Each team on the list can be used only once.
