Judge Comment:
Enjoyed reviewing this paper. Again, a few more action shots even if they are file photos.
Competition Comment:
It was difficult to mark down any of the entries as they all had compelling sports packages. It is infortunate that smaller papers cannot dedicate as much space as they would like. Newspapers should take the feature approach more often like these papers. Sometimes it is difficult to find all the right action shots - but keep working on it.
