With the road to the Final Four already begun, it’s time for local bracket heads to give it their best shot with L’Observateur’s annual March Madness basketball bracket.

The bracket can be found in today’s paper on pages 6-7A. Just write in the name of the team you think will win each game in the tournament from round 1 until the championship. Then turn in your completed bracket, and be sure to fill in the contact information form on the bracket. The winner will be the person who chooses the most correct winners overall. In the case of a tie, the prize will be split among all winners.

All participants must have their entries postmarked by Wednesday, March 19, or turn them in to our office in person by Thursday, March 20, at 11 a.m. because games begin at 11:15 a.m.

As always, the winner will receive a cash prize of $100. All mail entries should be addressed to: L’Observateur, 116 Newspaper Drive, LaPlace, LA 70068.
