| Free Throw Participants |
Al Henschmann wants to extend a giant THANK YOU to all the volunteers who took their time to make this a great event.
What a team effort !!
On December 9, the annual Free Throw Contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus was held with thirty enthusiastic kids representing 4 boys age groups and 4 girls age groups. They were registered flawlessly by the sign-in crew. Eight age group champions were crowned after diligent monitoring of all free throws shot by all 30 contestants concurrently shooting at 6 different baskets. Most of the volunteers spent time accurately tallying and recording each and every shot made and missed. The hard-working desk crew of Tony Cifelli and Jen Rivera hectically, yet accurately, reviewed all scoring sheets identifying the contest results. At the conclusion of the event, 8 age group winners were each presented with their well-earned engraved Championship Plaque along with a Championship Certificate, and all contestants received a Participation Certificate.
Additionally, based on the highest number of free throws made by all of the boys, and that of all of the girls across all age groups, a boy's overall champion, and a girl's overall champion was determined. Note that the boys' overall champion went to a double-overtime shoot-off between the 12-year-old champ and the 14-year-old champ with the 12-year-old winning the overall honor. The girls' overall champion and the boys overall champion were each awarded a Family-4-Pack of tickets to a 2022 Arkansas Travelers baseball home game. These awards were generously donated by the management of the Arkansas Travelers Baseball Organization. A big thanks to them!
It was obvious that all the kids had a really fun event!
In conclusion, a special thanks to the 16 volunteers that showed up to help with this event, which without you, would not have been possible. YOU GUYS (and LADY) WERE AWESOME !!!
Thanks again.
