County kids aim high at the Elks Hoop Shoot Blue Mountain Eagle Grant County grade school hoop- sters participated in the annual Elks Kids Hoop Shoot Saturday, Dec. 9, at Humbolt Elementary School in Canyon City. Out of a pool of 297 participants, ages 8 to 13, in the preliminaries, 32 competed at Humbolt. Sinking the most free-throw shots were six winners, who will advance to the Jan. 20 district championships at Barnes Butte Grade School in Prineville. The John Day Elks Lodge No. 1824 sponsored the event. “It was very successful,” said Elks Hoop Shoot chairman Dan Driscoll. He said several volunteers sup- ported the event, helping with judg- ing and score keeping. Humbolt hosted the event and provided the gym and all the equipment and sup- plies, he said. Advancing in the competition for the girls are Paytin Girvin of Seneca School in the age 8-9 division, Sa- vannah Watterson of Humbolt Ele- mentary (10-11) and Betty Ann Wil- son of Prairie City School (12-13). For the boys, Landyn Beil of Humbolt in the 8-9 division, Cliff Bice of Prairie City (10-11) and Tal- on Van Cleave of Humbolt (12-13) will advance. Successful shooters at the district competition will continue on to the regional contest in Portland, and na- tionals are held in Chicago. “The Elks Lodge has held the competition annually for many years,” Driscoll said, adding he appreciated the Grant County PE teachers’ efforts and enthusiasm. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with you this past year. A heartfelt thank you for your business and hope that the peace and spirit of this special season shines brightly for you throughout the coming year.
