About 70 students competed in News, Novice News, Opinion, Features, Sports and Photo contests to determine who would qualify for the State Competition on April 6. Congratulations to the Sweepstakes winners: Van Nuys High (1st place), El Camino Real Charter High (2nd place) and Daniel Pearl Magnet High (3rd place).
