It doesn’t feel like fall yet, but with August comes football season … or at least a jamboree or two before September kick off time.
If you’re a football fan – high school, college and pro – we have a deal for you. It’s popular, it’s fun and it’s back for the third straight season. It’s kick-off time for Webster Parish Journal’s Football Pick’em Contest.
Every week, local high school football games, four college teams and four pro teams will be on a ballot link, which will include tie-breakers based on total points of two selected teams..
It’s easy … follow the link, pick the winners. Each weekly winner over the life of the contest will be on the receiving end of $100 and will have their photo taken at our title sponsor Under Dawgs Sports Grill, the gathering place featuring a home-field atmosphere.
Anyone 18 and older is eligible to participate. All it takes is an email address and a combination of skill and a little luck.
When the regular season starts, the contest will open on Tuesdays and remain open until 4 p.m. each Friday before the listed games. Weekly winners will be notified and announced in the following Wednesday edition of the Journal.
Just like a subscription to the Journal, there’s no cost to enter, however, if you are not a Webster Parish Journal subscriber, you run the risk of missing out. Visit www.websterparishjournal.com and select “Join” to begin receiving your Webster Parish Journal in your inbox Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and – during football season – there is a special Saturday edition.
