Football contest begins this week

The contest that football fans love is back again for another year. A full-page football contest can be found in each edition of The Holyoke Enterprise for the next 15 weeks. Nineteen games are listed across the page, ranging from high school to college to professional.

Circle the team that you think will win the game. One match also requires you to predict the score of the game, which will be used to determine the contest winner in the case of a tie. Drop off answers at the Enterprise office/dropbox at 130 N. Interocean Ave. or type out answers and email them to brenda@jpipapers.com or text them to 970-466-3150. Deadline is Friday at 5 p.m. for each week’s contest. The Enterprise will be awarding $20 for first place and $15 for second place each week.
