Scott Aymond was our top picker in Week 5 of the Pick ‘Em Contest – $250

SBJ Pick ‘Em Week 5 Contest Winner – Scott Aymond

JOURNAL STAFF

Admit it: when you saw last Friday night’s Benton-Byrd score, you were very surprised.

Among the hundreds of people who entered the Week 5 Shreveport-Bossier Journal High School Pick ‘Em Contest, only two predicted Benton would pull the upset. One of those pickers went on to a 10-0 record on the 10 games in the contest and cashed in.

Scott Aymond, a retired coach and principal, cashed in Tuesday when he collected the Week 5 Pick ‘Em prize of $250.

Aymond explained his reasoning: 1) Byrd was coming off an emotionally-charged win over rival Captain Shreve in a matchup of neighborhood rivals; 2) Benton did fall to Airline, after losing at Newman a week earlier, but averaged 55 points in those two games; and 3) the Tigers were at home and had something to prove to themselves and everybody else.

Winner, winner, plenty of chicken dinners.

Now it’s time to make your picks for Week 6 of local high school football. There are several heavy favorites this week, but as Benton showed, that’s not all it’s cranked up to be. However, if those games go according to Lang’s Lines, the Pick ‘Em winner this weekend could be determined by the points predicted to be scored, combined, in the two selected contests. Keep in mind that the point total has to be at, or under, the actual combined score.

A panel of Journal writers and local celebrities are also picking the games each week, but won’t be eligible to win the cash prizes. Their individual picks will NOT be publicized, just the week’s final win-loss results and the season’s record for each picker. Those results will be unveiled next Tuesday.

It will be fun to compare your weekly results to the SBJ squad: Teddy Allen, Jerry Byrd Jr.,  Lee Hiller, Doug Ireland, Roy Lang III, John James Marshall, Harriet Prothro Penrod and Tony Taglavore. The celebrity picker panel includes some of Shreveport-Bossier’s best-known folks aiming to outrank the experts, and each other, each week.

Enjoy it all, for FREE, and enter each week’s contest. You could collect $250, maybe more than once!

One Cash Winner per week.

Tiebreaker turns Chris Kennady into Pick ‘Em Contest winner, $250 richer

SBJ Pick ‘Em Week Two Contest Winner – Chris Kennady

JOURNAL STAFF

Through two weeks of giving away $250 in the Shreveport-Bossier Journal High School Football Pick ‘Em Contest, hundreds of participants have had lots of fun.

Wes Green and Chris Kennady have had the most fun of all. Monday, Kennady collected $250 for winning Week 2 of the contest. Like Week 1 winner Green, he was a perfect 10-for-10 picking winners of last weekend’s action.

There were four contestants who hit all 10 games. For the second straight week (five pickers were 100 percent in Week 1), the contest tiebreaker came into play. Kennady’s total points prediction for two of the games was closer to the mark than the other finalists, earning him the $250.

Now there’s another $250 prize on the line. You have until Thursday afternoon at 4 to enter this week’s contest. Anyone has the chance to win the $250 prize as the week’s top predictor of local prep football games.

Participation is very simple for anyone able to access this link:
