Elite Eight Set! Dad Take the Lead!


The Elite 8 is set!

Dad and Teresa each correctly guessed SIX of the eight games, tying the Young Family Bracket Challenge record! Don't get too excited... they share that record with four others (Allison, Brad, Eric and Jeremy). However, this is the second time Teresa has tied this record as she also correctly guessed six of the Elite Eight in 2009 - when she won the Challenge... will history repeat itself???


Dad picked correctly for all four games yesterday and took the lead for the first time ever with 168.5 points! Following him is Brad, who cannot win the challenge, Heather (3rd), Teresa (4th), and Nathaniel (5th). Nathaniel has begun to scrap his way into the challenge too. Nathaniel correctly guess five of the eight this year! Way to go, buddy!

Heather is the only person whose entire Final Four is still in the running. Everyone should cheer for Florida when they play Louisville today so that way she can't get all four again!

Here are the standings:

1. Dad (Gary) - 168.5 points
2. Brad - 158 points
3. Heather - 156.5 points
4. Teresa - 155.5 points
5. Nathaniel - 153.5 points
6. Robert - 142.5 points
7. Eric - 129 points
8. Jeremy - 127.5 points
9. Matt - 125 points
10. Mom - 108.5 points
11. Jacob - 100.5 points
12. Beth - 95.5 points
13. Allison - 90.5 points
14. Melissa - 82 points
15. Lindsey - 77.5 points

Way to go everyone... two games tonight and two games on Sunday to determine the Final Four!

Isn't that picture of dad LEGIT?! It's my favorite.
