‘Tiebreaker’ gives football contest win to math class

Nashville’s upset loss to Haskell Harmony Grove really scrambled the football prediction con- test last week. A handful of participants missed only two outcomes, and none picked Nashville to lose. The “tiebreaker” determined the winner by look- ing at the smallest winning margin for Nashville. The winner, by one point, was Joy Freel’s home- room math class, which had predicted a 20-point margin. They get to share the prize -- a combo meal from Starz Family Restaurant. Actual scores of the games in last week’s contest: Mineral Springs 14, Foreman 13 Mt. Ida 43, Dierks 6 Murfreesboro 16, Springhill 8 Arkadelphia 44, Ashdown 12 Auburn 31, Ole iss 16 Alabama 58, Tennessee 21 LSU 19, Mississippi St. 3 Kentucky 14, Vanderbilt 7 Arkansas 23, Tulsa 0 Harmony Grove 26, Nashville 21 EARLY VOTING BEGINS. At the Carter Day Training Center in Nashville, Monday, the first day for early vot- ing, the election workers included, from left, Dena Pinkerton, precinct sheriff Rhonda Loy, Ginger White, Tina Conzel and Margie Green. Hours for early voting are 8-6 Monday-Friday, and 10-4 on the two Saturdays before election day. Early voting will end at 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 5, the day before election day.
