Duffy vs. Sargeant-- Ali vs. Frazier


Duffy- Sargeant: Classic

From a light-hearted winter pastime, Lompoc Locker Room's Peoples' Choice Athlete of the Year has morphed into a classic battle.




Call it Ali vs. Frazier or A-Rod vs. Manny duelling in Home Run Derby. Or what the hay, the Williams vs. the Mannings.


Danny Duffy and Lydell Sargeant have amassed (right now at 9:46 p.m. PST Wednesday night) MORE THAN 900 VOTES as fans of the two slug it out.


Right this minute Duffy leads 462-461 but both camps have shown the ability to send avalanches of votes in a matter of hours. When the polls close wenty-six hours from now who knows... 501-500, 750-749??


Who woulda' thought? Last year Chris White won this honor with just 144 votes. We called it "colossal." If that was colossal. what is this?? Super colossal? Mammoth? Titanic? Seismic?


Whatever it is, it is unprecedented. Wow, where's Stuart Scott?
