NCAA Basketball Bracket--HoneyRock

This year at HoneyRock sixteen people entered the NCAA
pool.  We, of course, put no money on the
outcome of any of the games, but the winner of the pool would receive the
highly prized privilege of choosing their favorite HoneyRock dessert for
everyone to eat at lunch one day.

The competition was fierce, especially at first when Bill
Long had dramatically more points than anyone else.  But once Kansas
and Kentucky
were out, it looked like someone else might win the pool.  Someone who doesn’t know anything about NCAA
basketball.  Someone who picked “Butler” because it was a
college she’d never heard of and she thought it would be fun if they came in
second place.

And so, Becki Henderson, by some astonishing stroke of luck,
chose Duke to win and Butler
to come in second place.  She came from
fourteenth place to win it all with a whopping seventeen point lead over the
next person.  As her favorite dessert she
chose the Giant Ice Cream Cookie which was served to everyone at Friday
lunch.  She offered to stand on the bench
and let everyone sing “Happy NCAA Bracket Day to You!” but no one seemed
interested in doing that, as it was too many syllables to comfortably sing.

Becki Henderson—91

Angela Sailhamer—74

John Vandervelde—67
