Mothball 88 by Kevin Reilly

In the silk empire of Bombyxia, the sport of Mothball has developed from generations-old sericultural practices into a ritual contest that tests the skill and grit of young athletes. The annual Mothball Championships are known for their high-stakes intensity, and the 88th lives up to the hype. This story is a small part of Reilly's "Birthplace of the Saints" graphic novel, slated for release in 2021.
