Erianne Adams, Brian Lewellen and Courtney Wiens are still in running for $200 in Pig and Cow contest
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Just like the NCAA basketball tournament, most contestants have been eliminated from competition in the Pig and Cow Tournament Bracket contest after week No. 2.
There are just three entries left that could get the $200 supplied by the Pig Shack. And there are nine entries still in competition for the $50 and $25 Pig Shack Barbecue.
Have you heard the saying: it’s not how you start but how you finish? Nothing rings more true than this contest. If you pick the national champion, you are getting 32 points which is equal to all the picks in the other rounds.
Going into this weekend, Brian Lewellen, Erianne Adams and Courtney Wiens are still in the running for the top $200 prize. Yet all three of them could be out of the top three in the end if their teams don’t win (with the exception of Adams).
