Knights of Columbus Host Free-Throw Contest

Knights of Columbus to Host Free-Throw Contest

The Fr. Thomas A. Judge Knights of Columbus Council #6893 will host their annual basketball Free-Throw contest on Monday, January 12th at the Trinity Regional School gym on Fifth Avenue in East Northport. The contest is open to boys and girls ages 9 to 14 (as of January 1, 2014) who must bring a copy of their birth certificate to register. Registration will begin promptly at 7:10 PM and the free-throw contest will commence at 7:30 PM.

Each contestant will throw fifteen free-throws and winners for each age group will be determined by the highest number of baskets scored. Winners for each age group will then move on to the district level free-throw Tuesday, February 3rd. After competing and making it through the district and regional levels, the winners will ultimately compete at the NY State finals to be held at West Point in April.

For more information, please contact Free-Throw Program Chairman Jerry Dano at (631) 368-0425.
