Last week we told you about the Captain Morgan 2011 BracketMaster Challenge that The Hoop Doctors are participating in. In case you missed that announcement, it is an online bracket style tournament hosted by Captain Morgan and their partner in this, Spike.com. The tournament ends on April 4, where 32 Morganettes from across the country representing the North, South, East and West are going head-to-head in their quest to become the Ultimate Morganette.
Our Morganette is Raven and she is competing in the West region. Aside from being a Morganette for 2 years, Raven is extremely talented. The Seattle native plays the piano and saxophone, and loves to dance. In fact, I spoke with her yesterday and found out that she does a mean Michael Jackson dance impersonation. She’s so good at it that she has actually won multiple competitions for the best impression of the King of Pop. She’s also into event planning where she designs layouts and is a creative director for photo shoots. The fact that she’s now a Morganette and is into fashion makes it tough to believe that she is a former mascot as well, but she was. Come on, how can you not appreciate something like that?
As part of my conversation with her, I also found out that she likes to have fun too. Her record for most shots thrown down in a single evening is 22. That’s Hall of Fame status if you ask me. And they were all kinds of shots which illustrates her versatility. Almost like a Power Forward who can bang on the block and step out and shoot 3s too.
We’re still in the first round of the tournament but time is running out and Raven needs your votes so that she is assured a spot in the Sweet 16. Head over to bracketmaster.spike.com to fill out your complete bracket again, while remembering to vote for Raven in the West region. This is the last call to vote for Raven as first round voting closes this Wednesday, March 2. This time around, you can also now text your vote for Raven, who sometimes goes by Stephanie. Text “Stephanie” to 44686. As a reminder, by completing the bracket and voting for Raven, you are entering to win prizes including a $15,000 grand prize package.
Once again, here’s the video of Raven, who sometimes goes by Stephanie as she does here, telling you why you should vote for her in the West region.
