Round 2 action intensified yesterday, as Mr. Marasco prevailed in another tight matchup.
Mrs. Hogan also advanced, setting up an epic Sweet Sixteen showdown with Mrs. Sipes in
the next round. Cheesy Breadsticks with Sauce won the Battle of the Cheese, and will now
face top seed Mashed Potato Bowl in the Sweet Sixteen. 3-seed Pittsburgh Chicken Salad
remains the only veggie-based option in the tournament with its victory over Meatball
Sandwich. Your Hump Day today brings an instant classic 12-13 of Mr. Bennett vs.
Mr. McKinney, while Mrs. Vanish and Mrs. Tippett-Wertz fight to be crowned Queen of the
English Department. Can Walking Tacos and Spicy Chicken Sandwich avoid upsets against
Chicken Alfredo and Pizza? Decide for yourself at lunchtime today. Vote early- and stop
stealing our pencils! Please, think of the pencils.
