THE WILDWOODS — The Wildwoods concluded the 94th Annual National Marbles Tournament on June 22 with the crowning of the King and Queen of Marbles. Mibsters Eli Murphy, 14, and Sierra Ricci, 12, both of Allegheny, PA, emerged victorious as the King and Queen of Marbles, after four days of intense competition.
Each winner received large trophies, commemorative plaques, official Tournament watches and $2,000 each in college scholarships. Both champions will have their names in the Hall of Fame next year.
This year’s National Marbles Tournament, held on the beach in the Wildwoods, once again attracted Mibsters and their families from across the country – as well as crowds and onlookers – to play more than 1,200 games of marbles at Ringer Stadium on the Wildwoods beach, all competing for national honors, college scholarships and numerous prizes and awards.
