Members of Holbrook Elks Lodge No. 2450 extend an invitation to all youth between the ages of 8 and 13 years old (as of April 1, 2016) to participate in the 2015-16 Elks Hoop Shoot. The Holbrook Elks will hold their competition on Saturday, Dec. 12, at Hulet Elementary School. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m., followed by the competition at 9 a.m. Participants must be on time to participate. The Holbrook Elks Hoop Shoot is a free throw competition in which students of similar ages compete against one another to see who can make the most free throws in 25 shots. Winners in each division will advance to the state competition and if they are successful, can advance all the way to nationals. There will be a boys’ division and a girls’ division in each age category. Organizers would like to have as many participants as possible, and volunteers are needed to rebound and keep score. If you have questions pertaining to the free throw contest, please contact Robbie Koerperich at rdkoerperich5@gmail.com.
