" I do not understand why you felt the need to put the picture of those poor girls on the front page of the paper. They put their heart and soul into their dance, and for you to broadcast their disappointment on the front page is very upsetting. I feel you owe everyone of those girls an apology.

" I totally agree. These girls have practiced every morning Monday-Friday at 6:00 am since the first of August and once school started after putting in a full day of school they would also practice for another hour to hour and a half. They gave everything they had to this competition and should be proud of their accomplishments. In my opinion that picture and comment underneath are extremely hurtful. By the way if all four scores for both teams had been averaged they would have won. I am not trying to take anything away from SF Washington; they also have a great dance team, but to have your own hometown newspaper do this to you is disappointing. "
