How could a 4-year-old Bluffton girl win this year's Bluffton Icon football contest? Well, it's true and false at the same time.
Young Adelyn Althaus is this year's winner. She accumulated 111 points this season and had three weekly wins. Here's the catch, Adelyn's entries were entered in her name by her dad, Andy Althaus.
But, it made for an interesting contest and we wish Adelyn well in future contests.
Here's a listing of all contestants in this year's contest.
