The Crunch Time Contest is back and this year we are giving away prizes to our loyal readers for their top weekly picks

BUCKHANNON – The Carpenter Crunch Time column is back for another year of selecting weekly high school and college games in the area.

And this year the staff at My Buckhannon made the column even better this year. We are still doing the interactive pick ‘em with our readers, but this year we are going to be giving away a small weekly prize to our reader who has the best overall record (and wins the tiebreaker if needed).

To play in our interactive contest, and pick next week’s seven selected games, please click here or the link below. It’s 100 percent free to play and super easy to enter.

So, join the contest to see if you can do it better than myself and My Buckhannon owner/publisher Brian Bergstrom, editor/writer Katie Kuba, and writer Monica Zalanik.

Brian won the staff contest last year but I will be on my game this year. I can promise him that.

Have fun and good luck to everyone!
