I don't think I have seen anything on Pregame regarding this but hey!, it's about time we recognize what one of our very own soldiers is doing right here in town in the $50,000 Golden Nugget Football Showdown. Bryan Leonard, just this past weekend, advanced to the final round, going 5-and-2 and getting past another friend and former colleague, Marco D'Angelo in the semis. Bryan has been on quite a run in this contest, totaling a record of 16-and-5 (76%) through his first three rounds, to advance to the final table.
Bryan will face off for all the marbles with the winner of the other semifinal match, which goes down this Friday, between Scott Kellen and Ron Boyles. I am guessing the finals will be held the following Friday, December 12th.
Mr. Leonard used 6-College Plays and 1-NFL Play this past week to advance..
