Council 8951 Basketball Free Throw
On Wednesday, January 23, 2008 Port Perry Council 8951, of the Knights of Columbus held their annual Basketball Free-Throw Championship at Good Shepherd Catholic School. This free-throw championship has four levels of competition starting at the council level and ending at the provincial level in March.

Contestants were allowed 15 free-throw attempts in the contest. Ties were settled by successive rounds of five free throws until a winner emerged.
For the winners of each division (or possibly the runners up, if the winner can't attend) the District competition is being held on Wednesday, February 6th, 2008; 7:00pm at St.Paul's Catholic School, Garrard St. Whitby.
The following are the winners for each age category:

Rob puts in many hours and lots of leg work to visit all the Port Perry area schools to get them involved in determining their school representatives who gathered at Good Shepherd Catholic school on January 24, 2007
Thanks to the many council 8951 Brother Knights who came out to help score and judge.
