I thought the exact same thing. I wish our schools would get the credit they deserve. They should rename it the Washington County Paper.

50 cents. Ya get whatcha pay for. I do agree that the headline was misleading, but this is not the only mistake this paper makes. It seems we here in Holmes County are always on the outside of our own paper looking in. It's not Holmes Counties advertiser anymore. How many remember the time when our paper was filled with news from around our county? I wish we had more pictures and articles about us!

I agree, that was the first thing that I noticed. I had heard Holmes won but seen Chipley's picture on the front page. I think that the paper has a problem with all Bonifay schools.
