Rona Bobey wins the football pick'em, beats Paul Conway

This week’s winner of the Pigskin Challenge is Rona Bobey. Rona was one of 19 people to beat our sponsor, Paul Conway of Tiencken Conway, LLC, who was 7-4 last week. The Seattle v. Arizona game was a tie, making last week an 11 game week.

Rona is a 19 year resident of Daniel Island (her 20th year anniversary is in February). As you can see from her photo, she is a Purdue fan. She named her first baby, a black lab, Purdue, and her first daughter is named Drew, after Drew Brees. “Hope one of my kids will go to Purdue so I can go back to college!” said Rona.

Why she plays the challenge? “I love all sports…waiting for basketball season for my Alma-mater to show up! In the meantime, I love beating my friends on DI in the Pig Skin Picks!!”
