Nine different competitors celebrated a perfect 12-0 Week 5, including Jim Manion, who used his flawless group of picks to take sole possession of first place in the standings.

Manion now holds a 46-10 record, which pushed him one game ahead of Brian Kinter, Mike Keegan and Tom Rauber. That trio is all sitting at 45-11 headed into Friday night’s Week 6.

An interesting note is that Manion also went unbeaten in Week 4.

This week’s picks are sponsored by Ferrell-Whited, which is located inside NEOMED in Rootstown.
