DarkeJournal.com High School Football Pick'em Challenge: Week 9

Dave Flora, a first time player, has won week 8’s High School Football Pick’em Contest! He will receive a free school spirit shirt from Cavalier Clothing and 6 free wings from Tail Gators.

With two weeks left, the race for the season long prize of a free blue tooth headset from Prime Communications in Greenville and a $50 gas card from DarkeJournal.com is still neck and neck. Jerry Bey still leads John Johansen by only 4 points after both added 10 points this week (full results after the break below).

Haven’t won or even played yet? You have two more chances to win the weekly prizes, so be sure to enter!

This Week's Games

• Bethel at Arcanum (Tiebreaker 1)
• Mississinawa Valley at Bradford (Tiebreaker 2)
• Covington at Ansonia
• Minster at Versailles
• Troy at Greenville

Remember the rules: list your predicted winners and rate how confident you are on a scale of 1-10. This is not in relation to other picks, so each pick will have a number between 1-10 associated with it, and you may repeat confident ratings across multiple games. If you get the pick right, you will receive that many points (so if you're sure of your pick, rate it a 10). However, if you get that pick wrong, you will lose that many points (so if you have no idea who will win, you may want to rate it lower). The entry with the highest total score will win!

Also, make a guess for the total score of the games designated as tiebreaker 1 and tiebreaker 2. In the event of a tie, the guess that is the closest to the total combined score of that game will be the winner.

Email your picks and confidence ratings to darkejournal@gmail.com with the subject line of "Football Picks - Week 9" by 6pm on Friday to be eligible for prizes.

If you have questions on the format, feel free to send an email or leave a comment on this post.
