Got lots of stuff that could put together for a good article...KEEP IT UP CHAMP!
I like the structure. The lede is a bit long and I think that you can either stat Oct. 12 or something along the lines of "last Friday" or "Friday." Good work. You always seemed very on top of everything for class and seemed to know journalism very well.
