SARGEANT FANS ARISE
Who says nobody takes this stuff seriously??
No sooner was the ink dry on Friday night's electrons than Lydell Sargeant blasted from a lagging third place spot to virtually tie Danny Duffy for first place in our People's Choice Athlete of the Year poll for 2008.
The Penn State cornerback racked up an unbelievable 200 votes in TWO DAYS to leapfrog past Detroit Tiger outfielder Chris White, last year's Peoples' Choice winner, and reach within a single vote of Duffy, the Kansas City Royals' lefthanded pitcher.
Then on Monday Duffy's fans fought back. They opened up a 33-vote lead over Sargeant 319-286 in what has become a two-man race.
Commissioner Mike The Statmeister Loney has set midnight Thursday PST to close the voting.
"Both Duffy and Lydell are fierce competitors so we would expect these two camps to be equally competitive," said the Commissioner. "It may come down to the final tally at 11:59 Thursday night."
Leads have not changed in the other three categories. Cabrillo golfer Morgan Salm leads the Female Athlete voting, Lompoc High basketball coach Claudia Terrones paces the coaches, and the YFL Panthers are running #1 among the teams of 2008.
