Quartet Madness: Tenor and Lead Bracket Results, Round 2

It was fairly exciting monitoring the results of the second round of voting for the Tenor and Lead Brackets. Several of the matchups stayed close throughout, and there was “drama” at the end. The Tenor Bracket is officially wide open, with two of the favorites taking exits in the second round. Here are the results of 79 of your votes.

TENORS
David Sutton got out to a quick lead, but it looked like Ernie Haase was going to overtake him. Sutton just barely outlasted Haase, and for the first time, a top seed was eliminated, 40-39.
It was close all the way, but Jay Parrack’s continued popularity prevailed, beating Chris Allman 42-36.
Power vs. power…Danny Funderburk and David Phelps went back and forth early. Phelps pulled away and eventually resisted a late charge from Funderburk to win 42-36.
Brian Free is now the highest-seeded tenor remaining. He had little problem with Ernie Phillips, winning 55-23.

LEADS
Glen Payne wasn’t quite as dominant as in the first round, but still won going away over Jim Hamill, 63-16.
Arthur Rice led early, but Gerald Wolfe eventually overtook him and won comfortably, 46-32.
Ivan Parker and Guy Penrod exchanged the lead in early voting, but Penrod surprisingly ran away from Parker, winning 47-31.
Is Ronnie Booth this tournament’s “Cinderella”? We’ll find out next week, after he led a close match with Kenny Hinson most of the way, winning 42-36.
