2-year-old Cooper Norris wins Pig and Cow Bracket Contest
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Think filling out an NCAA Tournament Bracket requires any kind of skill? Consider this…
Of the 90 people who filled out a Sumner Newscow- Pig Shack Barbecue  “Pig and Cow” bracket to win $200, the winner was won by a 2-year-old!
Cooper Norris, the son of Tim and Heather Norris, won the $200 contest for having the highest point total. We are guessing he may have had some help.
Dan Monson finished second and will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Pig Shack. Irene Monson finished third and will receive a $25 gift certificate.Â
Cooper had Kentucky winning it all over Florida. Of course, we now all know Connecticut beat Kentucky for all the marbles. But his Kentucky selection to the finals gave him 107 points.
Dan Monson had Kentucky over Florida and that earned him 100 points and the only other contestant to reach triple figures. His wife, Irene, finished with 97 points. The Monsons will have a lot of ribs to eat – $75 worth with their combined winnings.
Just for everyone’s information, not only did nobody have Connecticut to win the national championship, but nobody picked the Huskies to reach the Final Four or the Elite Eight and precious few of you had them in the Sweet 16 – selecting them to lose to Villanova.
It was a great tournament, and a lot of fun. We look forward to the next contest. Sumner Newscow has already agreed to be a sponsor of the 2014 Kansas Wheat Festival Medallion Hunt. See you then.
