It's almost like Ocean County is mirroring the NCAA basketball tournament, which had a totally unexpected weekend of upsets, with some upsets of our own right here at home from Round 2 of Mascot Madness 2018!

Matchup 1 - Southern Regional Rams (1) vs. Barnegat Bengals (8)

And what an upset it was right at the top as the #8 seeded Barnegat Bengals decisively dispatched the #1 seeded Southern Regional Rams by a margin of just over 3 to 1. Will the Bengals be this year's Cinderella team?

 

Matchup 2 - Brick Township Green Dragons (2) vs. Toms River East Raiders (7)

This matchup wasn't an upset in the sense that a low seeded team beat a higher seeded team, but only two rounds in and it's clear that the 2016 champion Toms River East Raiders won't be repeat winners of Mascot Madness as the Brick Township Green Dragons send them to the sidelines.

The higher seeded team prevails again in this matchup, but we have another example of former champions being sent to the locker room early. The Point Pleasant Borough Panthers decisively won last fall's School Spirit Competition title, but the Toms River South Indians (last year's Mascot Madness winners, I might add) squeezed just past the Panthers, and have denied Point Boro a shot at the School Spirit/Mascot Madness dual win.

 

Matchup 4 - Toms River North Mariners (4) vs. Central Regional Golden Eagles (5)

Again, this might not count as an upset in the traditional sense, but man did the Toms River North Mariners show up as they nearly tripled the voting for the Central Regional Golden Eagles. TR North is the only Toms River school not to win one of our competitions yet, is 2018 the year of the Mariner?
