    Judge Comment: Very large photos with smaller stories lessened this entry's impact for readers IMO. Good celebratory pages for parents and players. Thanks.
  • Competition Comment: Some very good entries in this class, but the winner was far and away above the other honorees due to depth of coverage and excellent use of stories, photos and general appearance. Another category in which an entrant did not read rules and submitted an entry without required content per contest rules. Thank you!
