So yesterday we had our first nail-biter of the Field of 32 with Brent Skarky taking Toby Rowland down to the wire. Granted, it was controversial, but it was good to finally have a close match. Also, other than Curtis Fitzpatrick or Clark Matthews' hair stylist, can anyone name me a more perfect Cinderella than Brent Skarky?
Anyway, today's match-ups are:
(1) Brad Henry vs. (9) Jamie Ceretta
(4) Jessica Schambach vs. (5) Mark Rodgers
(3) Wayne Coyne vs (6) Mike Gundy
(2) Bob Stoops vs. (7) Linda Cavanaugh
After the jump, we visit the Cowchip Festival in Beaver to check out the action.
