Defending Champion Yote the Coyote Advances to Mascot Challenge Finals
LA GRANDE, Ore. – In another epic I-84 battle between The College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon University Yote the Coyote has emerged victorious in the semifinal round of the 4th annual CCC Mascot Challenge. With 1039 votes cast Yote earned 52% or 540 to Monty's 48% and 499 votes. Yote will have wait to see the results of the second semifinal between Corban's Cadmar the Warrior and Oregon Tech's Hootie the Owl before knowing who he will face in the finals Feb. 6th.
An added incentive is that our conference winner will automatically gain a spot in the first ever NAIA-SIDA Mascot Challenge that will take place shortly after the conference challenge is completed. Thirty two NAIA mascots will advance to the national challenge that will also take place on twitter.
