Week 2 Results
Legendary Losers Vs Touchdown Divas
The men didn't come up with a team name, so Janet took the liberty of naming them herself: Legendary Losers. And the women are the Touchdown Divas. Even if you did not turn in a score sheet the first two weeks, you can still join in the fun of Legendary Losers vs. Touchdown Divas!
Janet will announce last week's winners at Second Harvest on Thursday.
Download this week's game sheet and turn it into Janet Liles by 6 p.m. Thursday.
Please do not turn in your sheets to Lu!
