It's a similar photo to those we've all taken - wrestler jumping into coach's arms - but the accompanying text makes this one more memorable.

Maybe not the greatest political story ever told, but in its way it is thoroughly exposed with excellent writing/reporting. It relates a confrontation, that didn't happen as alleged by a resigning elected official, against a companion elected officer. And the issue of confrontation attracts readers regardless of priority level.

The writer captured the story of this person's contributions as a teacher and more importantly, someone who really cares. While handicapped this person excelled and made the world of her students better. A very good read

A story of grit and determination. Ben McCormick obviously has the talent and knows descriptive writing will always be a winner. Sometimes reporters shy away from the less than pretty details, but this is what sports journalism is - not always pretty. Great story telling and photographs to back it up. Oh and did I mention, clever play in the headline! Congrats on 2nd place! Thanks for the read!

The reader is immediately pulled into the story with this lede. The writer is not afraid to interject his or her feelings about the subject, which keep one's interest throughout. It's one of those stories that both the subject and the reader enjoy.

#14 is just too cute celebrating!

Captures so much love among participants in photos that beckons the viewer to want to hug all of the participants in this photo. A strong contender

This story went into detail about this event and also had great photos to go along with it.

A nice trio of articles covering the arrest of a local elected official. Good information, albeit at times very repetitive by copying all the charges over and over (is necessary). The third article has much more depth. I questioned the identifying of the alleged victim; most newspapers do not name domestic violence victims. Thank you.

What a fun read. Writer takes reader behind the scenes, tracking this young band's emergence from the opening note. Creative lede, engaging approach invite readers to really get to know Kromatik. Well done

Everything is great here. Writing, photos, lay out and even the headlines. Really caught my interest and enjoyed it all. A very excellent job

Summary - This columnist perhaps does the best job in explaining the sports and their complexities to the reader.

really captured the intensity of this event. Cropped well to show what a team effort this was for the Rocket Raiders

Very interesting read. You had me sitting the audience waiting for the announcement of the winner.

Soft and elegant compared to other ads on the page - gives a warm, fuzzy feeling!

A entire year's experience in one publication. Clean layout, nicely formatted. Index would have been helpful.

Easy to read, lots of options, for $39.99! I really like the colors with the alligator or crocodile?

Love the color combinations and the cute SC pepper! Looks like it would be a good time!
