Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Jefferson - The Jefferson Herald Entry Title: Best Sports Columnist Entry Credit: Brandon Hurley Judge Comment: Despite one entry not being an "Early Lead" column, the writer still stood above the competition. No problems grabbing the reader's attention.

Sportsmanship is more than just a pregame announcement Entry Credit: Scott Spurgeon Judge Comment: The writer certainly gets his points across but some polish is still needed. Would have liked to seen more variety in subject matter.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Sigourney - The News Review Entry Title: NRW10 Entry Credit: Sean Strohmayer Judge Comment: Good content but would have liked to have seen more of a focus on local subjects. Readers are challenged to stay focused on such long paragraphs.
