There’s a new name atop the leaderboard after Day 3 of Hoops Hysteria.
Joe Petros from Tewksbury had a great third day in his NCAA tournament bracket, leapfrogging the crowd to take over the lead with 38-points. Elaine Heighington of Dracut is holding steady in second place, just one point behind. She’s been at or near the top of the charts since opening day. There’s a tie for third with 36-points between Dracut’s Michael Cafeteiro and Litchfield, NH entrant Rob Fay And I might as well mention the 3-way tie for 5th place between Michael Houston of Dracut, Thomas C. of Tewksbury and Ken Scarber of Chelmsford. If that name rings a bell, it should. Ken iw the SunBlog Madness defending champ making his presence felt once again.
As for your friendly neighborhood blogger, a respectable third day has me somewhere in mediocrity-ville with 31-points. However, watch out, my Final Four and Elite Eight are still intact (there’s the jinx if I’ve ever seen one!), so don’t be surprised if you see a continued rise up the charts.
Now then, those of you at the top or those who will be at the top after Sunday’s games, how about you send me your full names or post them here in this entry. I’d like to fully identify you in my column that will appear in Tuesday’s paper, and a last-name initial is much too impersonal…LOL!
And finally, how is your bracket going? Perhaps it’s just me, but I can’t see everyone’s entry, so I have no idea how your brackets are doing. Is there a way for me to see other contestant’s entries? Or are we just going to have to do this blind?
Feel free to start talking trash anytime you’d like!
