Tran,

You need to do your homework my friend if you want people to take Patch seriously. The girls CC team finished 2nd in the state and the boys CC team finished 4th in the state. You show articles from earlier in the season for both teams that do not show their final success as their seasons ended. What is interesting is you did show the final season ending for the boys swim team. What is your problem with getting facts put together ? Till then, you will be a minor league player in the major league's ?

Mr Bishop may wish to get his own facts straight as the article was not put together by Tran but by Justin Lado. Also the readers are given the opportunity to list their own favorites.
