DFC XXVI - Week Two RESULTS

 
THE WEEK THAT WAS

Remarkably, it's been literally 73 weeks of regular season - stretching all the way back to Drew Warren, Matt Halpert, and Randy Latta's triple tie in Week 8 of DFC XVII (2018) - since we had a tie for the win, and we've never had a tie for Week 1.

And now we do -  The Coca Cola Cowboy himself, Matt Mink, scores his first win of his young career (he's a DFC Soph) while he ties up with James "The Prediction Maker" Hawbaker, scoring his first weekly win since DFCXXII.  Both were at 9-1.

Drew Morris was 3rd, also at 9-1, as was The Big Wasyluka and Yours Truly, in 4th and 5th, both at 9-1.

Coming in 6th, Drew "The Grassman" Warren, Jeremy "The Director" Burgess were 6th and 7th, while, Roth from Wyoming, Steven "The Principal" Ray, and Jonny Oz all tie for 8th place at 8-2. 

Also finishing:

8-2: Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Mikey "High" Nipp... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey... Aussie Nate J... Zack "The Attack" Graves... Chris "YO TEACH" Croyle

7-3: Danny "3D" Powell... DMO... Jenni Ersnt... Garrison "Pride of St Simon's Island" Ryfun... Eddy the Jr... Mitchy "Pinky the Younger" Pinky... Tom "The Tall Boy" Johnson... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Eddy the Bigger... Tyler "SPSBOtDFC" Campbell
