As basketball came to a close, JT and Danny were both tied at 18pts. This marking the first tie we've seen since 2009. Per campout tradition all 6 events were put back into a hat for one game to be drawn at random to determine a champion. And just like 2009, the fates decided Horse-Shoes to be that game. As the tie-breaker concluded, Danny Bean once again came out on top as our 2022 champion!
