Our final two writers ended this tournament with a very strong finish. Phoenix Mōsher and Stephanie Wilson stepped up to the plate and brought it.

We asked them to write at least 750 words for the finals and the prompt was to create a new sport. They had a little over 24 hours to complete this task. I was a little anxious but they came into this with the intensity they had throughout and both wrote some creative and excellent stories and created new sports in the process.

How cool is that?

Phoenix Mōsher. Read the creative zero-gravity game of Jet Ball here.

Stephanie Wilson. Read about Summer Pitchball here.

The winner, in another close finish, is Stephanie Wilson.

Both submissions were amazing and I’d like to congratulate both writers on a fantastic finish. I want to go play both of your new sports now.

The final two writers will both receive a cash prize for making it to the top of the field. Stephanie Wilson will receive $75 for first place, and Phoenix Mōsher will receive $25 for second place. Send your PayPal details to gauravjn82@gmail.com.

Today is July 1st and is also the official start of The Press Box Summer Tournament. I will release the details of the new tournament shortly. Thanks to all of the writers who made the Spring Tournament a huge success and to all of the writers over at The Press Box, a special thanks for making this a great place for sportswriting.
