My Answer: Yes, No, Yes
Last week's contest was the final Pick Ten: The winner of the weekly award was Laura Roach with 46 points followed closely by Jesse Schoen with 44. The final standings show a tight finish and Mike Henderson emerged victorious with a grand total of 204 points. The pack chasing him included Jesse Schoen and Rich Cowles at 199 and Toby Hatlevig at 196.
In the four year history of the Pick Ten contest, Mike Henderson has never finished worse than second place at the end of the year. The former Saint Catherine head coach and current Princeton University Director of Operations wins the Pick Ten title to go with his 2010 crown.
