Karson Trede of Durant won first place and $25 this week, missing three games and guessing 91 for the tie-breaker.

Troy Harmel of Walcott won second place and $15 this week, missing two games and guessing 60 for the tie-breaker. Harmel won in a previous week, keeping him out of first place for a second time.

Ben Brown of Wilton won third place and $10 this week, missing four games and having a tie-breaker prediction of 63.
