We Have a Winner!

Well, march Madness has come and gone and so has our bracket contest. Schmitty ended up on top, but he can’t win the prize. Hunter was next in line, but since I filled out his bracket for him…he can’t win the prize either. So, our winner (behind Schmitty, Mrs. G, me, Hunter and Pastor Wagner) is Susan. For the first time ever, Mrs. G beat me in the contest…guess I’ll have to guess harder next year. And if you want to know about the picture on the left you’ll just have to ask Susan and Stephanie. Below are the final bracket standings for those of you who haven’t seen them yet.

And We Have A Winner!

Well, Kansas won but the real winner is Martane, with Danielle coming in a very near second. Congrats and I hope you enjoy your lunch with Mrs. G. The final standings have been updated here.

Standings Update

The bracket contest standings have been updated. Check them out here. And yes, Chris is still at the top…but his champion (Tennessee) lost last night.

Standings After the First Weekend

Well, I finally have updated the standings from the entire first weekend of our bracket contest. Check them out here. And yes, in case you were wondering, Chris is still near the top.

Standings After Day 1

Well, I just put up the standings after the first day of March Madness. A past winner (who has no clue about college basketball) finds him/her self back on the top of the standings. You can check out how you are doing by clicking on “NCAA Bracket Standings” up at the top of the page.

Let the Madness Begin

Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when I take a serious look at the brackets for the NCAA man’s basketball tournament. I pour over the match-ups and carefully make my selects.  And then I proceed to get beat by Chris S or some random girl from youth group who filled out their bracket based on the schools mascots! If you haven’t filled out a bracket yet, make sure you do it by Wednesday. Once you give me your bracket (I’ll have plenty of blank ones Wednesday night) I will add it. We are using the www.cbs.sportsline.com bracket manager. If you want to join the group so you can see the standing, please email me and I will invite you to the group. Oh, and by the way, Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!

We have a winner!

Congrats to Chris S! He took first in the bracket contest, beating his sister out by 5 points. I have updated the final standings. You can check them out to see where you finished. The top five were:

1. Chris S
2. Maryanne S
3. Pastor Wagner
4. Stephanie Z
5. Briana K

If you weren’t here for the March Madness Party, you missed out on a good time (not watching the game, but playing ping pong and dodgeball and hanging out!). See you all tonight!

On this sad night…

I have updated the bracket contest standings. Why is it sad? Well, tonight I had to watch the fall of the the mighty Jayhawks. Anyway, Chris is still in first and Maryanne has jumped back into second. And, if you check out the standings you will see that there are only four people that can get any more than 300 points…and 3 of them are girls–Cierra R, Stephanie S and Maryanne S. Go UNC!!!!!
