2012 Michigan Community College Press Association Judging Form

Place of award:

First Place Second Place Third Place Honorable Mention

Category: Sports feature

Headline/title of entry: Spartan basketball takes flight

Contestants name: Ehimare Arhebamen and Ian Gallagher

College name: Schoolcraft College

Judges comments: I can! t decide what this story is about. Is it about the Carrier Classic
specifically?

(Well, no, because even though you devoted the first five paragraphs to it, you also told me
about the MSU-Duke game four days later.)

Is it about MSU basketball in general?

(Well, no, because MSU played two exhibition games before the North Carolina and Duke
games and two non-conference games after them [and before your publication date], and
you didnt tell me about any of those. You also didnt tell me anything about MSUs
players.)

It! s fun to write about a good Division I team, and you write well. It! s more fun to read
anything when you have some idea of what it is you! re reading about. You didn! t give
your readers much help in that regard.
