Max Drzewiecki and Michael Koerner were off by just one point, each predicting a 38-31 win by the Chiefs. The top five finishers received prizes and four random winners were also chosen with two coming from those who selected the Eagles and two more coming from those who selected the Chiefs. Gift cards will be distributed by week’s end through English classes.
