Round one is in the books, and we’ve got an exciting tournament of champions underway. In region one there were some very intriguing match ups that yielded both landslide results, and nail-biting finishes . In the end, only one coach could advance from each match up, and today we vote on who will be moving on to round three in region two.
Corky Rogers vs Mike Pittman
Coach Rogers rolled in the first round as many knew he would. With a 466-85-1 career record, it’s going to be hard to defeat the coaching phenom in this tournament. However Coach Pittman seems ready for the match up. He won a tough round one decision and looks to do the same in round two. He is one of very few coaches that can boast an accolade that legendary Coach Corky Rogers can not. Pittman won four straight state titles in the 80’s and 90’s. An impressive feat for an impressive match up.
