Read moreThe first week of Football Fever is in the books, and it’s hot, hot, hot! This week’s first place winner is Ray Stancik of Columbus, who correctly chose eight of the 12 games. This was followed by a tie for second place, with each participant having made seven correct selections. A tie breaker game was not chosen for week one, therefore the Citizen used the “old school” method of drawing the name of the winner. Congratulations to Shawn Hagel for securing the second place spot.
