It’s Super Bowl time and the Icon invites viewers to test their football skills by entering the Icon’s Super Bowl Contest.
Beyond picking the game winner, contest questions include:
• Who will score first
• Who will lead at halftime
• How many points will the winning team win by
• and the toughest tie-breaker question of all time: Who will be the game’s most valuable player?
We are also looking ahead for more contests of all types in 2020. Persons entering the contest may suggest other contests the Icon should consider holding.
The Super Bowl contest winner receives six passes to the Shannon Theatre, Bluffton.

Five Knights scored in double figures to total all of the Crestview points. Southpaw post Carson Kreischer led the victors with 18 points, while senior guard Kaden Short tallied 16. Ohio State-bound 6-8 recruit Kalen Etzler netted 15 points.
"I thought Kaden played probably his best game," said Crestview first-year head coach Doug Etzler. "Carson was very efficient inside, and Kalen did a good job passing."
