Re: Regional Championship or Regional Chairmans?
I'd be glad to receive either honor, but right now I'm more inclined to go after the Regional Championship. Why? With few exceptions, the regional champions tend to draw more press than the Chairman's Award winners. It should be the other way around, but it tends not to be; I blame it on people naturally being drawn to the title of Champion, no matter how many times the emcee notes that the Chairman's Award is the highest honor.
The way I see it, a team that still isn't a household name could stand to get more attention (and thus have their programs reach a wider audience) with a regional championship than a Chairman's Award. That's my theory--if I get a chance to test it, I'll let you know.
