Student going to the Oregon State Hoop Shoot
J aihline
‘Cha Cha’ Ramirez
from Warm Springs has really
worked on her basketball free
throw technique.
A goal for Jaihline is to have
her name in the Elks Hoop Shoot
National Hall of Fame. She has
made great progress toward this
goal, with another challenge com-
ing up in February.
Elks Lodges across the U.S.
sponsor the Hoop Shoot youth
basketball free throw contests,
starting at the individual school
level. As many as 3 million stu-
dents compete each year in this
first level of the competition.
A student who wins the school
competition then qualifies for the
next level, the District, followed
by Regionals, and then the State
Hoop Shoot.
Jaihline won the Jefferson
County Middle School Elks Hoop
Shoot, and then took first in the

Jaihline (center) at the Regionals award ceremony. The trophy will be presented at the State
competition. Skytus Smith (at right with District trophy) took second place in his division. He won
the Regionals event last year. His parents are Alvis Smith II and Vivian Smith.
Madras Hoop Shoot. Earlier this
month she competed at Regionals,
held in Prineville, where she again
won first place in her age group.
Her next challenge will be the
Hoop Shoot Oregon Finals, com-
ing up in February. After this would
be the National Finals, winners of
which have their names entered in
the Hoop Shoot Hall of Fame.
Besides her free throw skills,
Jaihline plays for the Jefferson
County Middle School basketball
team, and the Central Oregon Bas-
ketball Organization, on a team
coached by Tony Holliday, Fire Pre-
vention officer at Fire Management.
Jaihline’s parents are Joy
Ramirez, who works at the IHS
clinic, and Jose Ramirez, who works
at the mill in Madras.
Jaihline last year won her Elks
Hoop Shoot school-level competi-
tion. This year she is in the 12-13
year age group, and next year will
be above the age groups.
So this is her last year in the Elks
Hoop Shoot competition, inspiring
her to put in extra practice on her
free throws.
This work paid off, as she is now
getting ready for the State Finals,
February 10.
