CORRECTION to paper: Roby wins

Due to an error on the scoring sheet, the sports editor inadvertently had Minnesota Vikings winning over the LA Chargers when in fact the Chargers defeated the Vikings 28-24. With the error brought to light, the results of the Pigskin Picks contest published in the Sept. 28 Public Opinion were incorrect. It was also noted that the Miami Dolphin and Denver Bronco game with the high school of 70 was not listed on the page.

Sue Roby of Decorah and Laurie P. Hageman each missed two games; however, Roby’s tie breaker guess of 68 was closer than Hageman’s of 52, leaving Hageman to win second. Third went Paul Norton of Waukon. Both Norton and Kevin Schmitt were both two away on the first tie breaker while Norton guessed 85 on the second tie breaker.

The first tie breaker was 62 points scored by Clarksville. The second tie breaker was a combined high score of 84 between Turkey Valley and Clarksville.

Most commonly missed games were Riceville over Kee, MFL MarMac falling to Sumner-Fredericksburg and Michigan Technological defeating UIU.
