The entry location is the same as the high school contest - at the bottom of the home page.

It was close, but Duane Bollenbacher survived as the cumulative winner of the 2012 Icon 10-week high school-college football contest. He accumulated 122 points (81% winning percentage) over the course of the season.

Want to hear a good Ada Halloween story? Here’s one. And it’s true.
Most of us have forgotten that the bend in the road on State Route 235 north of Ada was originally laid out as a 90-degree angle. If you head north, you can see a remnant of that angle - but look closely.
Most of us have also forgotten that the 90-degree angle once had a name: Dead Man’s Jog. I know how the name came to be. My grandfather told me. He told me the story over a half century ago. It was a story that took place, well, I’ll put it this way - several generations ago.
