Elks ‘Hoop Shoot’ Saturday |
The Elks National Free Throw “Hoop Shoot” contest will take place on Saturday at 9 a.m. at Crescent Elk School, 994 G St., in the gym. All boys and girls ages 8 through 13 are welcome to participate. Contestants’ age group will be determined by their age as of April 1, 2012. The Elks “Hoop Shoot” Free Throw contest is the largest and most visible of the many youth activities sponsored by Elks Lodges. From the millions of youngsters who participate and advance through local, district, state and regional competition, six national champions are named — one boy and one girl in each of three categories: ages 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13. The winners each receive a trophy and their names are inscribed on a plaque at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. For information call Ryan Young at 218-5384. |
