Don Grogan is making a habit of winning KnoxTNToday’s Game Ball contest!
Grogan came closest to predicting Tennessee’s 34–6 victory over Kentucky on Saturday, November 7, earning his second Dinner for Two at Aubrey’s this season.
Dozens of readers submitted predictions for the Tennessee-Kentucky matchup, but Don Grogan came closest to the final score.
His prediction of Tennessee 31, Kentucky 10 missed the final score by just seven combined points — three on Tennessee’s score and four on Kentucky’s.
But this week’s victory came with a little extra suspense. One KnoxTNToday writer nearly matched him.
Beat the Writers: A one-point difference!
Jan Dickens correctly predicted Tennessee would score 34 points. Her 34–14 prediction missed Kentucky’s final score by eight points.
That left Grogan with the narrowest of victories: seven points off for the reader, eight for the writer.
The readers extend their undefeated streak in the Beat the Writers challenge. Season standings: Readers 8, Writers 0.
A second win for Grogan
Grogan previously won Game Ball when Tennessee defeated Alabama 26–10 on October 17. His 24–14 prediction was the closest reader entry that week, too.
He now becomes the season’s first two-time Game Ball winner.
Our winning readers this season have been Virginia Farris, Donna Leach, Nathan Bond, Gary Kinney, Denna Grogan, Allen Shoopman, Don Grogan and Shelley Miller.
Congratulations to Don on another winning prediction, and thanks to everyone who continues to play!
