Grid Picks draw decides tie

Ten of 12 is the best any of 786 Grid Pickers in last week's high school football contest could muster. Most Deseret Morning News readers who entered the contest had trouble navigating one or more of three upsets: Union over Park City, Mountain Crest over Bountiful, and Taylorsville over Brighton.

Four prognosticators picked 10 games correctly and were 11 points off the score of the tiebreaker game. Roger Farnsworth of Layton was randomly selected as the first-place winner. He wins $50 and a Grid Picks T-shirt.
