Enrique Rodriguez won the $150 Grand Prize in the Friona Star 2019 Football Contest. His final point total was 99 which was two points ahead of Mal Manchee and Laura Field. Mal and Laura tied with 97 points each so the cumulative tiebreaker scores for the year were used to determine 2nd and 3rd place. Mal’s tiebreaker scores were 233 points off for the year and he won the $100 2nd Place Grand Prize. Laura’s scores were 238 points off and she won the $50 3rd Place Grand Prize.

Sandra Berend was the only contestant to correctly pick 11 of the 12 games in the last week of the Friona Star football contest. Sandra’s only miss was the Farwell/McCamey game and she won the $30 first place prize.

Five contestants picked 10 of the 12 games correctly and the Texas/Iowa State tiebreaker decided the winners. David Smalts missed the score by 9 points and won the $20 second place prize. Jon Field missed by 11 points and won the $10 third place prize. Laura Field (17) Butch Casey (19), and Claire Brown (21) were the other three contestants
