The Class AA Sweet 16 pro - posal had a 7-0 vote in the advisory council and an athletic director vote of 10-8.

"Financially, we're taking a big hit," Uttermark said about the lost gate receipts. "I think it's a fi - nancially irresponsible decision." The motion to adopt a Sweet 16 format in Class AA passed on a vote of 6-3. Casting the dissenting votes were Uttermark, Steve Mor - ford, Spearfish, and David Planteen, Langford.
