If you don't know what the HoopShoot is here is the link to the website for it. Basically, it's been going on since 1972 and it's just a friendly nationwide competition that the Elks host to see who can shoot the most free throws in the appropriate age division. Yes, you get awards and such, and it can be a pretty big thing if you make it to Nationals, but it all starts at the childs school. That's where my oldest daughter comes in. This year, Sydney who is in 6th grade, beat all the other girls in her age group at her school in the Elks HoopShoot. So, that meant she got to go to Ridgetop to compete against all the other local schools. She did great. She shot 10 out of 25. She placed third. The two other girls ahead of her shot 11 out of 25 and 12 out of 25, so she was right there with them. Unfortunately, she doesn't get to move on (they only take the top 2) but she thought the experience was awesome. It was so fun to watch. I don't remember ever doing this when I was in school, nor have I heard anything about it from my kids in the previous years. Anyways, here are some of her shots I took pictures of.
She did so good. I'm so proud of her!
