March Madness 2009

Hello fellow family bracketeers:

As you can see I am sending this under Emily's name because I can't figure out how to post this with my own name. OK without further comment here are the results:

The bottom of the pack: James and Gary (The basketball prophet) with 19 correct picks
James, although admirable to follow the prophet - in this case, as the rest of us have learned, never a good idea to be in the same place as Gary (The basketball prophet.)

Hanging on with 20 points are: Mason, Brittany, and Penny

Standing alone with 21 points is: Morgan

In the middle of the pack, a three way tie: Emily, Gale, and Elizabeth

With 23 points: Anna and Ken

Nipping at the heels of the leaders with 24 points are: Eryn and Adam

Currently in the lead with 25 points are: Kate and Thomas (just so you know that Thomas didn't break any mission rules, his bracket was picked by Gary, the Dad, not Gary, the basketball prophet. Buddy, the doll, will be celebrating in his absence.

OK, some notable standout picks: Props to Ken for being the only one to pick Wisconsin over Florida State

Adam, Emily, Ken and Gale: for picking Siena over Ohio State

Adam, Gale, James and Gary for picking Western Kentucky over Illinois

And lastly, a moment of silence for David's bracket which was unfortunately destroyed after the first day of the competition. Ususally he waits for the 2nd or 3rd round to execute his bracket. I guess you could say that it is just David being David.

Good luck everyone for round 2 which will start soon!!!
