The Sports Museum has named the winners of the 2022 Will McDonough Writing Contest.

The competition is held each year in memory of the late Boston Globe sportswriter.

Students in Grades 4 through 12 were invited to submit an original essay on a sports topic of their choosing, or about other topics like great moments in sports or sportsmanship.

The Young Leadership Council of the Sports Museum did preliminary judging. Reporters and editors from the Globe picked the winners.

Winners will be honored Friday night at the Sports Museum at TD Garden. They will hear from Globe journalists Chad Finn and Nicole Yang, and have an opportunity to attend the Celtics-Pacers game.
