As we get set for the conclusion of the college basketball season tonight when UConn and Butler square off for it all, we must also bid farewell to the 2011 Captain Morgan BracketMaster Challenge. Kelly and Nicole faced off in the National Championship version of this competition, and please join us in congratulating Kelly from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, for winning the competition and being named the Ultimate Morganette!
Similar to the men’s game, the Final Four of this competition was also held this past weekend. The quartet consisted of Kelly, Danielle V., Niki and Nicole, and those names were revealed in Las Vegas on Saturday night. You can track how the entire tourney played out at bracketmaster.spike.com.
The Hoop Doctors originally started out as Raven’s coach but as you know, Raven unfortunately did not advance. But we were still able to be a part of the action by participating in the consolation bracket in support of Yeni. Yeni did not win that bracket, but we couldn’t have been more excited and honored to participate in such a fun event.
