Press Pass October 2017 PAGE 1 PRESSPASS October 27, 2017 Best Sports Photo Division 5 2017 Better Newspaper Contest By Julia Moss, Great Falls Tribune Titled: Great Falls Rumble Tommy McMillen battles Ian Stewart during the Great Falls Rumble at Heritage Inn. McMillen won his debut match in 42 seconds. Judge’s Comments: You can almost feel the fury in this photograph. I love the texture created by the overhead lighting; the highlight on the glove headed into the opponent, coupled with the shadowing around the eyes, is reminiscent of a painting. A wonderful example of making art out of sport.
