Heading into week 11 of the Ville Platte Gazette football contest, things could not be tighter in the business category.
With only three weeks left to prove who is the best prognosticator of the football world, Brown’s Furniture owns a one point lead, 9-8, over Farm Bureau. Not far behind, Bon Aimee, along with Lemoine Insurance are tied with seven points apiece.
Still in the fight are Ardoin’s Funeral Home (6 points), Paul’s Meat Market (5 points), Miles Briley (5 points) and B & L Seafood (5 points).
In the individual contest it has been all Jody Ortego so far. Ortego has accumulated 18 total points and has a seven point advantage over Joe Maggio.
The next closest contestant is Donald Sam, who has reached the eight point level.
Anything is possible in the last three weeks of the contest, but time is running out.
