North Schuylkill and Line Mountain continue their long runs atop the lead in the high school and middle school divisions, respectively, after Week No. 7 of the EconomicsPennsylvania Stock Market Game sponsored locally by Sunbury Motors and The News-Item.
North Schuylkill has led the high school division since week No. 3, but Mount Carmel Area has crept very close - within just a few hundred dollars - of the leaders' total.
In the middle school contest, Line Mountain has also now led for five consecutive weeks, but Mount Carmel is applying pressure in that division, too.
Each team starts with a hypothetical $100,000 for the 10-week contest in which they trade stocks.
Total reported Saturday buy Economics Pennsylvania, which coordinates the game, are seen in the chart above.
