Donna MacKenzie received the Second Place Award in the Sports Coverage category. Judges said of her work: “There is some great coverage and reporting done here, and the pictures add powerful visuals.”
Christopher Carosa was awarded Third Place for the Best Column in Division 1. Judges said, “This writer pulls the reader in from the very start. Well written work. Truly work that makes the reader think – and I’m sure most readers will learn something along the way.”
