Results for the 3rd Annual Big Man Tournament of Champions

2008 FULTON FALCON BIG MAN TEAM



The Central High Bobcats captured the championship of the 3rd Annual Big Man Tournament of Champions held on Saturday, July 12, 2008 at Powell High School. The Bobcats edged two-time defending champion Bearden in the closest competition in the event’s history. Only three points separated the top four teams. Central’s winning margin came thanks in part to earning 16 points in the obstacle course event. Dylan Wolfenbarger set an event record in the obstacle course with a time of 21.58 seconds, while his Central teammate Austin Stinnett earned points for the Bobcats in the event with a 4th place finish. Fulton’s Antwan Hamilton also set a record with a 9.43 second time in the 1-man sled. Coaches Matt Lowe of Powell and Buck Coatney of Fulton helped to organize the event. Each team consisted of ten players. The events required the linemen to use their strength, agility, quickness, and teamwork skills. Each event was scored like a track meet with the winning team scoring 10 points, the second place team getting 8 points, and decreasing points given to the lower-placed teams. The event was very successful, and everyone is looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.
