The UVa. commemorative section was the scale tipper. I can see this 16-page special project being kept forever by Cavalier fans and alums. Player profiles, insightful columns, quick reads and historical perspective were all packed into an amazing visual presentation. What an impressive example of teamwork and organization. The effort of putting something like this together after such a grueling tournament run is not lost on this judge. The section itself is also packed with quality. Oddly enough, the Sunday Page 2 stands out as a fun, light and informative read -- a lost art for sports sections these days. Congratulations Richmond Times-Dispatch.
