Congratulations to Jwantsawii
Jwantsawii, aka Kevin Williams of Battle Ground, bested the second place finisher -- Bob Richman's American Idle -- by just 13 points. The two used eight of the same players. The difference came when Williams went with Jason Richardson (Pool D) and Rudy Gay (Pool E) while Richman went with Joe Johnson and Zach Randolph.
Williams won weeks 12, 15 and 19 and had the top score in the first week of the playoffs.
The albundys, WhatsItLookLikeFormThere, 47-Big Nate, and RoaringEaglets (tie) closed out the top 5.
The Falconators won the final weekly prize.

What J wants, J gets
Congratulations to Jwantsawii, otherwise known as Kevin Williams, for winning columbian.com's Fantasy Hoops Contest.
Actually, congratulations are in order for "J" as well: Williams 12-year-old daughter Jenna.
"She is very excited to have a new Wii," Williams said.
He isn't a newbie when it comes to the NBA game, either. From John Havlicek to Bill Walton to Clyde Drexler to the current crop of Trail Blazers, Williams has been a fan for a while.
"I have been a basketball fan for a long, long time," Williams said. "The highlight of it all is the '77 Blazers for anyone who is from Oregon (I grew up in Eugene )."
Williams now lives in Battle Ground, although he's had success with basketball contests around the country.
"I actually thought I had a decent chance to win," Williams said. "I won a similar contest run by the Salt Lake City Tribune when we were living there back in 1994."
Although he has some experience with the fantasy game, Williams inabaility to read the rules almost cost him. He got up to speed just in time, though.
"No one has ever accused me of being brilliant," Williams said.
Well, maybe not brilliant, but coherent enough to win a Nintendo Wii for his daughter.
"There's one happy 12 year old today in Clark County!" Williams said.
