The schedule says Week 14, but for us here at the Daily, the season's pretty much over. As the second-to-last paper of the fall semester heads to the presses, we've long forgotten about football. This is our last Eds' Challenge, but we're back for one last victory lap.
Liz "Santa" Hoffman has continued to lord her football expertise over the rest of the field, finishing a 128-win senior campaign with an 8-8 week. Ethan "Donner" Landy surged toward the end to keep things close but finished his rookie season three games back. Evans "Prancer" Clinchy had a superb 11-5 week to move into third, two games behind Landy.
Fittingly, Alex "Dasher" Bloom and Ross "Dancer" Marrinson round out the year with identical 121-71 marks, proving once and for all that they belong together forever. Marrinson gave us a heartwarming underdog story, rising from the depths of last place in the early-going to finish with a fourth-place tie. If only the Timberwolves could turn things around too...
Tim "Comet" Judson finishes the season in sixth, but last among the Daily's male contingent. Rachel "Blitzen" Dolin finished first in the powderpuff division, polishing off her fall season with a strong 10-6 finish. Sapna "Vixen" Bansil went 7-9 to slip deeper into eighth overall, while Carly "Cupid" Helfand... well, she has a winning record.
Daily sports columnist Danny "Rudolph" Joseph isn't actually an editor, but it's the holiday season. Santa's letting him guide the sleigh tonight.
