I don't like giving too many updates on where the Mascot Madness voting is going, I'd much rather see who can really get the word out and get people voting organically, but this year's semifinals are definitely worth talking about right now.

I do have to make the qualification that everything I'm about to tell you is current as of this writing, at 3pm on Friday. As we've seen in Mascot Madnesses past, things can change a lot in only two and a half days!

Matchup 1 - Barnegat Bengals (8) vs. Brick Township Green Dragons (2)

Matchup 1 between the #2 seeded Brick Township Green Dragons (who, incidentally, come up as blue on our graph) and the #8 seeded Barnegat Bengals looks like it's going to be a squeaker. As of right now, the difference in votes is barely in the double digits.

Can the Bengals hang on and keep their Cinderella run going?

 

Matchup 2 - Toms River South Indians (3) vs. Toms River North Mariners (4)

When we unveiled the semifinalists on Monday, I pointed out the fact that the Toms River North Mariners are the only TR team not to have won one of our competitions yet, with the Toms River East Raiders winning the inaugural Mascot Madness in 2016 and the Toms River South Indians taking home the title last year. If the voting to date is any indication, the Mariners are determined to make it a threepeat for Toms River, with a title for each school.

Again, though, a lot can happen between now and when voting closes at midnight on Sunday, so I'd caution all of our semifinalists against resting on their laurels and feeling like they have a comfortable lead. Don't take your foot off the gas now!

Have you voted yet? Pro tip - you can vote once a day!
