FRESNO, Calif. - While the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament solidified their Final Four, the Fresno Famous Bobblehead Tournament did the same Sunday night as KMPH Great Day anchor Kopi Sotiropulos, Portland Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez, former NFL player Ickey Woods, and Mayor Ashley Swearengin all won their respective matchups to advance. Kopi faces Robin Lopez, while Ickey Woods takes on the Mayor in the Round of 4 matchups that will be open to online voting through Wednesday, April 1st at 5:00 p.m. PT. The winners of those two matchups will square off in the Fresno Famous Bobblehead Tournament Championship that will have online voting run Thursday, April 2nd through Sunday, April 5th. The winner will be announced on Monday morning, April 6th. All voting takes place at FresnoGrizzlies.com.

All four matchups in the Round of 8 were runaways, with the four winners all receiving at least 60% of the vote. The results are shown below:
