When the judges finally broke from their huddle and placed the first-place ribbon in front of the coconut pie, half of the crowd cheered. But when the second-place ribbon was placed in front of the key lime pie, half of the crowd booed. It was a very competitive year at the county fair bake sale.

The best inference that can be made from the text is:
"Both of the pies were very good."
This is supported by the fact that there was a competitive bakery contest and that one pie won first place while the other elicited mixed reactions, suggesting both were well-regarded.
