Fort Pierre Knights of Columbus Free Throw Contest

The Fort Pierre Knights of Columbus chapter is hosting their annual free throw contest on January 14th at 1PM CST in the Parkview Auditorium at the Stanley County High School. Fort Pierre's local contest is part of a global contest put together by local Knights of Columbus chapters, the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. All children ages 9 through 14 are invited to participate. Contestants will vie for the championship within their gender and age group. Each shooter will take three warm-up shots and then 15 consecutive free-throw attempts. The competitor with the most made attempts in each group will earn the title of Council Champion and advance to district level competition. Those winners will compete for state honors. Winners from each age group will receive a commemorative basketball. Anyone interested in competing should plan to arrive at the gym at least 30 minutes ahead of the start of the competition. Hope to see you there and good luck!
